CRAWFORD COUNTY — Deputies say a man and woman were arrested for having drugs and a loaded handgun after a rollover crash Wednesday.
While deputies were helping a woman trapped in the car on I-75, they saw drug paraphernalia. They also saw drugs in her purse before she was taken to the hospital.
Deputies spoke to a man who they say initially denied driving the car, but later admitted to it. The man had a backpack that he would not let deputies search, but deputies say because of the drugs and paraphernalia they had seen, they had probable cause and searched the bag.
They found a loaded 9mm handgun, 324 grams of meth (nearly ¾ of a pound), 13 grams of heroin and more drug paraphernalia.
The man and woman are being held pending results of the investigation.
