Dekevia Hull, 25, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine. His bond was set at $75,000.
Samantha Owen was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Her bond was set at $35,000.
Authorities say the investigation is still active, and more charges may be forthcoming as they continue gathering evidence.
