Deputies also found a loaded 9-milimeter handgun on the ground where Kephart had fled on foot.

Kephart is being held in the Gibson County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

Sheriff Thomas says the street value of the narcotics found with Kephart is estimated at $4,500.

The second arrest happened Saturday during a traffic stop on Charlie Benson Road in Bradford where 34-year-old Erin Brock, of Huntingdon, was found with 31 hydrocodone and morphine pills, 20 grams of meth, a .25 caliber handgun, and digital scales.

Ms. Brock is being held in the Gibson County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
