An MCSO deputy spotted the vehicle at the Airport Shell, at US-10 and Pere Marquette Highway.

Deputies say a 41-year-old Kalamazoo woman was arrested for meth, and the 46-year-old driver from Gaylord was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle.

According to MCSO, heroin and meth were found in the vehicle and the retail fraud investigation is still open, so more charges are possible.
