LAKEPORT, Calif. – Two Corning residents were arrested on drug charges Wednesday following a verbal altercation in Lakeport.
Anthony Joseph Moron, 24, and Cynthia Leann Fox, 23, were taken into custody, according to Lt. Jason Ferguson.
Just after noon on Wednesday Lakeport Police officers contacted Moron and Fox in the 800 block of N. Main street. Ferguson said they were arguing over a cell phone.
During the contact with the officers, Fox advised them that she had marijuana and a pipe in her purse. A search of her purse revealed a glass pipe with suspected methamphetamine and a plastic bag containing processed marijuana, Ferguson said.
As a result, Ferguson said Fox was placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
During the contact with Moron, an officer obtained consent to search his person and located a plastic baggie with a white crystal substance which officers believed was methamphetamine, Ferguson said.
Ferguson said Moron was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
Both Moron and Fox were transported to the Hill Road Jail, where they were booked. Bail for each was set at $15,000, Ferguson said.
