Three people have been arrested in Warren County after deputies reportedly found methamphetamine, fentanyl, pills, and drug paraphernalia during a traffic stop.
According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Department, a deputy conducted a traffic stop on Rock Island Road on August 7 after observing a traffic violation involving a vehicle driven by Tierra Paige Brown of White County.
During the traffic stop, the deputy reportedly saw a clear baggie containing a white substance inside the vehicle.
A subsequent investigation led to the discovery of approximately 11 grams of a substance believed to be fentanyl, five grams of methamphetamine, more than 150 pills believed to be a muscle relaxant, drug paraphernalia, and more than $1,400 in cash.
Brown and her two passengers, Nikkie Simmons and David Arthur Elliott, both of White County, were charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Brown and Elliott were arrested and transported to the Warren County Jail.
Simmons was transported to a hospital for a medical condition unrelated to the traffic stop. She is expected to appear in court at a later date.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the substances seized will be submitted for further testing.
Brown and Elliott were scheduled to appear in Warren County General Sessions Court for arraignment on Thursday, August 13.
The charges are allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
