HOLBROOK, Ariz. (AP) - Four Arkansas residents have been arrested in eastern Arizona after authorities seized $100,000 worth of liquid PCP during a traffic stop.

Navajo County Sheriff's officials say 27-year-old Jeremy Ford, 19-year-old Christopher Kelly, 27-year-old Jeramy Sanders and 22-year-old Kimberly Brown are being held on $25,000 bond apiece on suspicion of transportation and sales of a dangerous drug.

Ford and Brown both are from Little Rock while Kelly is from Hot Springs and Sanders from Wrightsville.

Authorities say the woman and three men were in a rented SUV stopped for a traffic violation Monday on Interstate 40 near Holbrook.

A search turned up a two-gallon plastic gasoline can in the rear of the vehicle that authorities say contained 11 pounds of the hallucinogen PCL mixed with a petroleum-based liquid.

wow, the cop checked their gas can? He really knew what he was doing to figure that out, or they were just acting stupid and he got suspicious. I've never even seen that stuff and I thought I've seen a lot of stuff! PCP is hardcore and glad they got that little bit off the street.

Problem with you two's thinking is they don't want them either. Arizona is just like TX. They will hustle them through court. Probation. Fine. And kick them back to here. Seen it happen lots of times. In fact to me. LOL. Being a criminal at one time just gives me a little more knowledge on how the justice system works. This is really simple. Why would they pay to house them when they can send them back here. Your first hint to that being the truth. The low amount of bond. They want them to be able to post it and get the flock out of their state. Tx. would have give me a free ride with charges dropped if I would have shared what I knew about smuggling. What is funny about that is it is never enough. You just can't beat a snitch. Well you can but you better not get caught.

Unfortunately they will not see Joe's hospitality; different county. But, I agree; let AZ keep 'em. Not many family visits I imagine. Mommy and daddy, brothers and sisters, spouses and children; gonna have to spend a lot of dough to go see them on weekends! LOL

As a tax paying citizen of Aransas, I hope they keep that trash in Arizona and Joe Arpaio sticks them in a hot tent!
