5 Arrested in Lincoln After Meth, Heroin Found in Car

METHLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lancaster County authorities say five people have been arrested after methamphetamine and heroin were found in a car in which they were traveling.

The five were arrested Saturday morning on the northwest side of Lincoln. A Lancaster County sheriff’s deputy pulled over the car after the driver ran a stop sign. The Sheriff’s Office says a woman who rented the car gave permission for a search, and deputies found nearly 5 pounds of meth and more than 8 pounds of heroin in the engine compartment. The drugs were valued at more than $500,000.

The five were arrested on a variety of allegations, including child abuse and neglect. A 1-year-old boy was traveling with them.
