Livingston County Stop Nets Two Drug Arrests

Two women face felony drug charges after a stop early Wednesday morning in Livingston County.

Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox says deputies stopped a vehicle around 12:39 Wednesday morning, on U.S. 36, after only traveling 52 miles-per-hour in a 65 mile-per-hour zone.

Authorities reported the vehicle crossed lane dividing line multiple times and made a stop of the car.

Deputies arrested 42-year-old Rebecca Dawn Kephart and 45-year-old Stacy Lynn Crist during the stop.

The two women were reportedly traveling from Indiana to Mound City, Missouri with methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Both Kephart and Crist were taken to the Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.

Reports say the two women face formal charges of a class D felony for possession of a controlled substance of methamphetamine in Livingston County.
