Officers then searched Lehman and found two baggies that contained methamphetamine and two glass pipes commonly used to ingest narcotics. Lehman was arrested and transported to Lowndes County Jail where she was charged with possession of methamphetamine (felony) and possession of drug related objects (misdemeanor).
