A North Platte man and woman are facing multiple felony charges following a traffic stop on Valentine’s Day.

According to a news release, a deputy with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was on patrol whey they observed a vehicle parked in a secluded area near the Scouts Rest Ranch Campground.

As the deputy approached the area in his vehicle, the suspect vehicle left the area at a high rate of speed.

The deputy eventually got the vehicle to stop near Buffalo Bill Avenue and Scouts Rest Ranch Road, and made contact with the driver, 34-year-old Sara Henderson, and a male passenger, 30-year-old Lucas Sellers.

The deputy reported smelling burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle and said Henderson admitted that there was marijuana in the vehicle.

Following a subsequent search, the deputy located the marijuana along with a large bag of what appeared to be methamphetamine.

As the deputy attempted to detain the duo, Henderson escaped, got back in her vehicle and drove off.

She was soon located hiding in a storage shed at her residence. However, Henderson was not ready to give up and had to be pepper sprayed before she was taken into custody.

A further search of Henderson’s person revealed a large amount of meth.  Deputies also conducted a more thorough search of her vehicle and located a large amount of cash, stolen property and stolen credit cards.

Henderson was placed under arrest and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, flight to avoid arrest, obstructing a peace officer, criminal possession of a financial transaction device, theft by deception and theft by shoplifting.

Sellers was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana.

Both were jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.

Authorities say the investigation is still ongoing, and will likely lead to more charges.
