Stop leads to arrests

A Sisters deputy stopped a driver on Highway 126 on April 1 for driving with a suspended license. The stop led to the arrest of two men on drug charges.

According to sheriff's office reports, after stopping Gary Edward Camp, 32, of Bend, the deputy noticed an object that looked like a pipe bomb in the car. He summoned Oregon State Police for assistance and officers determined that the object was not an explosive device.

A sheriff's narcotics detection dog named "Tweeker" alerted on a bag in the vehicle which was allegedly found to contain materials for a mobile methamphetamine lab.

Camp and his passneger Shawn Ray Owen, 30, were both arrested on charges of manufacturing, delivering and possession of a controlled substance.
