A woman from central Iowa was arrested on drug charges last week, after her vehicle broke down near mile marker 91 on Interstate 80, in Adair County. Sheriff’s officials say when a deputy made contact with 39-year old Tina Rebecca Wright, of Newton, he saw in plain view, a pipe used to smoke meth, inside the vehicle.

Wright admitted to the deputy there was also meth inside her vehicle. The drug was found under the front, passenger seat. Wright was brought to the Adair County Jail, charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. She was later released on a $1,000 cash bond.

The sheriff’s office said also, 48-year-old Jack Howard Davis, of Orient, was arrested June 7th, on a warrant for violation of parole. His bond was set at $5,000.
