ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A California couple has been charged with drug trafficking in Elko County after a Carlin police officer found a small amount of marijuana and about a pound of methamphetamine during a search of their car along Interstate 80.
Carlin Police Chief Bill Bauer tells the Elko Daily Free Press (https://tinyurl.com/l7ydtyq ) the officer pulled the couple over Saturday night after noticing their vehicle had an expired license plate.
Bauer says 44-year-old Martin Rubio of Oakdale, California, and 46-year-old Cynthia Gilmore of Pendleton, California were ordered held in the Elko County Jail in lieu of bail set at more than $260,000 each.
Each has been charged with possession of less than an ounce of pot, trafficking controlled substances and conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substance Act.
