DAVENPORT, Iowa — Two Davenport women are being held in the Scott County Jail after police say they were found in possession of a stolen vehicle and methamphetamine.
According to criminal complaints, Davenport Police responded to the 2400 block of Rockingham Road around midnight on Dec. 15 following a report of a stolen car. Officers identified the suspects as Mary Fugate, 48, and Leann Perez, 51.

Perez was allegedly found in possession of 8.99 grams of methamphetamine, packaged in small plastic bags, along with $630 in cash, according to the complaint.
Fugate was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled substance and second-degree theft, along with misdemeanor charges of driving while barred and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is being held on a $5,000 secured bond pending her initial court appearance.
Perez faces felony charges of possession with intent to deliver, second-degree theft, and failure to affix a drug tax stamp. She is being held on a $10,000 secured bond and is awaiting her first court appearance.
