LEHI, Utah (ABC4 News) — A man and woman were arrested on Monday after police conducted a welfare check at a Maverik gas station near 1075 South 1100 West.
Officers received reports of a car alarm going off at the gas station, and when they arrived, they found a gray hatchback vehicle parked in front of the dumpster with two unresponsive adults inside.
According to police, they were able to eventually wake the pair up and confirm their identities as, Allan Terry, 30 and Ciara Curtis, 31. Police also identified the child in the back seat as Allan’s son, documents state.
Police said because they suspected drug use, a K-9 officer was called to the scene. During a search of the vehicle officers found a small bag of a crystaline substance and two large hunting knives.
Terry told police the two had used methamphetamine the night before.
