MARION – Three people were recently taken into custody and cited after Williamson County Sheriff’s deputies found methamphetamine and fentanyl in a vehicle they pulled over for committing several violations of the Illinois Vehicle Code.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office says Patricia A. Goforth was cited for Driving While License Suspended/Revoked and No Valid Driver’s License, Adam S. Gilreath was cited for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of Methamphetamine, and Edward A. Devries was cited for Unlawful Possession of Two or More Debit/Credit Cards and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

The sheriff’s office says additional charges related to the fentanyl are expected pending laboratory testing. All three were taken to and lodged in the Williamson County Jail.

After pulling the trio over around 9:25 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 11, they found Goforth, who was the driver, had a suspended driver’s license. Gilreath and Devries were her passengers.

While speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, one passenger stated they were traveling to Denver for vacation while another occupant was not sure where they were traveling to, where they had been, or the details of their travels.

One occupant stated that they never made it to their destination because they had been robbed.

A probable cause search of the vehicle discovered hypodermic syringes, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.

During the search, deputies located a large number of debit/credit cards, social security cards, insurance cards, and driver’s licenses from numerous unidentified individuals who were not on scene.

All three were then cited for their offenses and taken to jail.
