During a search, officers recovered an ounce of fentanyl and methamphetamine, ammunition, knives, drug paraphernalia and money.
The man faces charges for operation while impaired, possession of stolen property and breach of probation, while both of them were charged with two counts of possession for the purpose trafficking and one count of obstructing a peace officer.
