Two Busted for Drugs in Longview

LONGVIEW – A traffic stop near the Longview mall has resulted in two persons charged with drug violations. Arrested Tuesday were Jennifer Lynn Laudner, 34, of Longview and Johnathon Ray Neal, 30, of Huntington. They have been charged with possession of a controlled substance between 4 and 200 grams, two counts of possession of a controlled substance less than 1 gram and possession of a controlled substance less than 28 grams. Neal was also wanted in Angelina County for fraud.

According to the Longview News Journal, a state trooper stopped their car because it matched the description of a vehicle in a shoplifting alert. The trooper saw the occupants making what he called “making unnecessary furtive movements,” and smelled meth coming from the car. In Neal’s pockets he found found a container of amphetamine pills and powder. In the car was a meth pipe with the drug and a container with plastic baggies, crystal meth, amphetamine pills, ecstasy, Xanax and a set of digital scales.
