A Casey County couple were arrested on drug charges over the weekend.

Around 7:30 PM on Saturday evening, Casey County Deputy Jacob Atwood observed a 2000 GMC Sonoma pickup truck crossing the centerline several times on Indian Creek Road. The registered owner had an expired driver status, and the vehicle's insurance status required verification. Deputy Atwood initiated a traffic stop just past Howe Hollow Road, with Deputy Harris assisting.

The driver, identified as Timothy M. Hines, 56, of Liberty, and his passenger, Angel Wooten, were asked to provide documentation. While Deputy Atwood ran their information, Deputy Harris deployed K9 Nitro, who alerted positively to the vehicle. During the search, a glass pipe with residue and a bag containing suspected methamphetamine were found. Hines admitted ownership of the items, stating the meth weighed about 14 grams.

Hines was arrested and transported to Casey County Jail, facing charges of Reckless Driving, No Operator's License, Trafficking in Methamphetamine (1st Degree, over 2 grams), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The passenger, 44-year-old Angel Wooten, was also lodged in the Casey County Jail. She's charged with Resisting Arrest, Public Intoxication (controlled substance), Promoting Contraband-1st Degre, Possession of Marijuana, & Tampering with Physical Evidence.
