Upon conducting a vehicle inventory deputies seized approximately three ounces of methamphetamine and a small amount of marijuana from the vehicle. Both are charged with Possession of Controlled Substance Methamphetamine with Purpose to Deliver a Class A Felony and Possession of Controlled Substance Marijuana a Class A Misdemeanor.  Both are scheduled to appear before the St. Francis County District Court Judge tomorrow to be arraigned.
