CEDAR CITY — A woman and a man who pleaded guilty to drug possession after Utah Highway Patrol troopers found 25 pounds of methamphetamine in their car in early April have been sentenced in connection with the case.
As previously reported, Faily Chavez, 29, and Ramond Allen, 26, were arrested April 2 after a trooper pulled over their car for following another vehicle too closely on Interstate 15 just north of Cedar City.
During the search of the vehicle, officers found approximately 25 pounds of methamphetamine hidden underneath the floor carpet on the front passenger side.
Chavez and Allen each later pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, a second-degree felony.
