(KNZA)--Two Mayetta residents were arrested on drug and firearm charges after authorities found them passed out in a vehicle at a Jackson County intersection.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says deputies were called just before six o’clock Sunday evening to the intersection of 118th Road and U.S. 75 Highway, after a report of a person slumped over the wheel of a Ford Edge.

The caller told authorities he attempted to wake the driver by honking his horn. When deputies arrived, they found both the driver and a passenger asleep inside the vehicle. A deputy reported seeing what allegedly appeared to be a methamphetamine pipe in the driver’s hand.

The driver, 36-year-old Lloyd Wabaunsee, and the passenger, 44-year-old Raven Barber, were taken into custody.

Wabaunsee faces multiple charges, including possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, DUI, unlawful possession and distribution of controlled substances, possession of a weapon by a felon, and no drug tax stamp.

Barber was arrested on charges including possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, distribution of controlled substances, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and no drug tax stamp.

Both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
