A Utah Highway Patrol trooper arrested two people after finding over 110 pounds of methamphetamine, 4 pounds of marijuana, and 16 ounces of promethazine liquid in the trunk of their car during a traffic stop. The suspects, Amauri Tremelle Brown Flemming and Jeremiah Jordaiah Laday Bruner, were booked into the Washington County Jail on multiple drug-related charges.
Why it matters
The large quantity of drugs seized highlights the ongoing battle against the methamphetamine epidemic in Utah and the efforts of law enforcement to disrupt drug trafficking networks. The case also raises concerns about the prevalence of drug smuggling activity on Utah's highways.
The details
During the traffic stop, the trooper observed evidence of possible criminal activity, including inconsistent travel plans, lack of details, nervousness, and indicators of drug smuggling. When the occupants denied consent to search the vehicle, a K-9 unit was called and detected the presence of narcotics. The subsequent search of the trunk uncovered the large stash of drugs.
- The traffic stop occurred just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, February 14, 2026.
