Davis was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, felony interference with a law enforcement officer and transporting an open container
During the traffic stop, Morse said it was discovered the backseat passenger, 41-year-old Victoria Everett, of Webster, Texas, was a non-compliant registered offender for distribution of methamphetamine.
