Two people from Vidor were indicted this week by a Jefferson County Grand Jury.
Back in April officers were patrolling what they described as an area known for narcotic trafficking and prostitution, the Heritage Inn on I-10, and they observed two people sitting in a vehicle in the back of the parking lot. They occupants never got out of the vehicle and officers considered the situation suspicious so they made contact with the two individuals. The K-9 was called in and found probable cause to search. Officers found methamphetamine in an eyeglass case. Richard Freeman, 36, admitted to ownership of the meth and was charged with possession.
Also in April, DPS Troopers were patrolling SH 105 in Jefferson County around 8:30pm when they observed a Jeep driving without its lights on. The vehicle was pulled over and the driver was jittery and stuttering according to the Troopers. Both occupants were interviewed and gave conflicting stories of where they were going. Consent was given for a search. Troopers found a hypodermic needle in Brittney Jones’ purse along with a bag under her passenger seat that contained more needles, a spoon with meth residue on it, and several hydromorphone hydrochloride pills. Jones, 40, was placed under arrest for two counts of possession of a controlled substance.
