A Maryland couple face several drug charges after a traffic stop in Culpeper on Sunday.
Tealeye Luciano, 34, was charged with DUI, refusing a breath test, driving with no driver’s license, possession of marijuana, transporting drugs into the state for distribution, possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute prescription drugs.
Demian Galen Filkins was charged with possession of marijuana, transporting drugs into the state for distribution with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute prescription drugs.
During the investigation, Culpeper Police officers confiscated nearly $5,000, two ounces of suspected methamphetamine and a pick-up truck.
According to town spokesman Wally Bunker, Master Officer Andy Berry stopped Luciano on North Main Street around 4:30 a.m. for suspected driving drunk.
Berry said the woman appeared “disoriented and confused.”
During questioning, Luciano, who was in the truck alone at the time, said she and her boyfriend had recently attended a Phish concert in Charlottesville and were staying at a local motel.
After the arrest, Luciano asked officers to check on her boyfriend at the Rodeway Inn on Willis Lane.
When officers entered the room, they noticed Filkins in bed and suspected marijuana in the room.
In addition to the drugs and prescription pills, police say, they found $3,900 in cash in the room and $1,000 in cash on Luciano.
The couple is being held without bond in the Culpeper County jail. They are scheduled to appear in Culpeper General District Court Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.
