TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Three people have been arrested after Leon County deputies pulled them over and found that they were cooking meth in their car.

According to a court document, a Leon County Sheriff's Office deputy was patrolling the area Wednesday afternoon, when he saw a white Ford sedan turn onto Dee and Rose Lane.

The deputy said that the car was only there for a few minutes before leaving to a gas station near the intersection of Aenon Church and Hwy 20.

While the car was traveling, deputies were able to determine that the driver was driving without a valid license. LSCO then stopped the car and arrested the driver, Joshua Johnson.

The document said that one of the deputies spotted a suspected active meth cook, also known as a "one pot", in the lap of the front passenger, Samuel Coover. After the discovery, everyone was arrested, including the back passenger, Sara Callahan.

When interviewed, all three denied that the bubbling meth cook, weighing more than 900 grams, was theirs.

Deputies then did a search of the car and found several items. On the floorboard inside the car, they found a container with what they suspected was meth inside.

In the trunk, LSCO found several other chemicals used to make meth. 

The document also says that deputies found used syringes, an oxycodone pill, and a marijuana pipe in a makeup bag belonging to Callahan. 

All three are facing charges related to the possession, manufacturing, and trafficking of meth along with other drug charges. 

Callahan is in behind bars on a $60,500 bond, Johnson on a $75,500 bond, and Coover on a $75,500 bond.
