MARIETTA, OK ― Two Portland, Oregon, men are in the love county jail after they were arrested for carrying cocaine and prescription pills on Interstate 35 in Marietta.

Charles Watson, 19, and Graig Lewallen were arrested Tuesday night on drug possession charges.

Marietta Police first received a suspicious call about the two late Tuesday afternoon that they had possibly gone into a closed business and left, headed north on I-35.

Authorities say 12 grams of cocaine, along with 38 valium tablets and more than 100 other unidentified pills were found on the two.

The men were stopped on the interstate with the help of Love County Sheriff’s deputies. They remain in the Love County Jail.
