WYOMING COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A routine traffic stop in Wyoming County resulted in a major drug bust involving over a pound of suspected methamphetamine, firearms, and cash, according to the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Department.
The incident occurred on Friday, March 14, 2025, when Corporal Tucker Cook stopped a 2015 green Chevrolet Silverado near East Pineville. Authorities noted that the driver, Jamie Owens, lacked a valid driver’s license and appeared visibly nervous.
