Two Vancouver residents were arrested early Wednesday in the Oregon coastal town of Reedsport after police found 4 pounds of methamphetamine in a cooler inside their vehicle.

Ashley D. Gomez, 33, and Sergio Llamas-Fernandez, 18, face charges of possession/delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school.

As of Monday, they were still in custody at Douglas County Jail in Roseburg, Ore., on $50,000 bail. Llamas-Fernandez also is on an immigration hold by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, according to the jail’s website.

Reedsport police stopped the pair near the intersection of Winchester Avenue/U.S. Route 101 and 21st Street on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, said Reedsport interim Police Chief Tom Beck.

During a search of their vehicle, police found 4 pounds of methamphetamine inside a cooler, Beck said.

The intersection is about a block away from Reedsport Community Charter School.
