The Whitman County Sheriff’s Office arrested two Spokane residents on drug and gun charges Sunday in Colfax.

31-year-old Amber Sitter and 37-year-old Raymond Cooper appeared in Whitman County Superior Court on Monday and had their bail set at a $25,000.

In the news release, Whitman County Sheriff Brett Myers said deputies observed a vehicle making a traffic violation in Colfax and, after obtaining consent from the driver, officers searched the vehicle. During the search, deputies located 76 fentanyl pills and two loaded handguns. The Sheriff said the two later admitted they were returning from Clarkston, where they had recently delivered a large quantity of fentanyl pills.

If charged and convicted, both Sitter and Cooper could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
