Just after 10 a.m. Friday, a Lincoln County Sheriff's deputy observed a vehicle parked unlawfully at Buffalo Bill Campground.

The deputy met with Justin Chilcott, 43, and Heather LaManna, 36, both of North Platte.

The deputy noticed Chilcott attempting to hide something under the vehicle, and he appeared to be under the influence. A sheriff'f office K-9 unit arrived — K-9 Kailah — and sniffed the vehicle and indicated drugs were in it.

A search revealed about a half gram of suspected methamphetamine and a syringe that was completely full of presumed methamphetamine.

LaManna and Chilcott were both arrested and placed in the Lincoln County Detention Center for possession of methamphetamine.
