Two Cheyenne residents are facing felony drug charges following a traffic stop in Cheyenne Thursday night.
According to arrest records, it all started around 9:43 p.m. when a police officer stopped a white Ford Transit at the intersection of Interstate 25 and College Drive for failing to maintain its lane of travel and for not properly displaying a front license plate.
During the course of the traffic stop, the officer identified 64-year-old Richard Lee Clifton as the driver and 21-year-old Olivia Margaret Merrill as the front-seat passenger.
During a subsequent search of the van, approximately 186 suspected fentanyl pills were located.
