Two Central Washington state residents were arrested in Madras after an Oregon State Trooper allegedly found seven pounds of methamphetamine in their vehicle.
OSP said it happened Sunday night around 7:20 p.m. on Highway 97 near E. Street. The vehicle was pulled over for speeding.
State Police say the trooper “noticed signs of criminal activity” which led to the search of the vehicle.
