The license plates attached to the car belonged to a different vehicle, police said.

Katie Mae Ouellette, 25 and Tyler Leary, 26, both of Milton, were arrested during the traffic stop.

Ouellette was charged with unlawful trafficking in Schedule W drugs (meth), unlawful possession of scheduled drugs (fentanyl) and attaching false plates. She is being held at York County Jail in Alfred on $10,000 bail.

Leary was charged with unlawful trafficking in Schedule W drugs (meth). He was also charged with violation of conditions of release because he was not allowed to have contact with Ouellette because of a previous incident in which he threatened her with a gun, police said. Leary is being held without bail at the York County Jail.
