Two people were arrested on drug manufacturing charges last Friday, after a Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office deputy found three containers of liquid meth inside their vehicle during a traffic stop.

According to YCSO, the stop occurred in the Chino Valley area Friday morning, and the deputy noted three thermos-type containers in the vehicle with a chemical smell. Each had hoses coming out of the top like straws, consistent with items used to make meth.

The liquid inside the containers tested positive as methamphetamine, and the driver denied manufacturing the drug. Deputies also found a meth pill in the passenger’s possession, and both suspects were arrested.
