PRICE — A Carbonville man was arrested Sunday evening after police received a call of a “suspicious vehicle” and located drugs in his car, police said.

Officers responded to the area of 380 N. 100 East around 6:20 p.m. and located a vehicle with equipment and insurance violations, according to Price City police. They did a search of the vehicle and located drug paraphernalia, 21 grams of methamphetamine and 19.19 grams of heroin, police said.

The vehicle was impounded and Ernest Edward Davis, 34, was arrested in connection with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to distribute and vehicle equipment violations.

Davis cooperated with the officer after the drugs were discovered, police said. A Carbonville woman who was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the arrest was released at the scene.

Police said Davis has previously had 20 arrests, 10 of which resulted in felony convictions. Davis’ previous offenses include burglary, theft, weapons charges, drug offenses, criminal mischief and assault. The Carbon County attorney will determine formal charges for Davis and previous drug convictions and drug free zone enhancements will apply.

Davis was released from the Utah State Prison in November 2014, police said.
