Liberty Lake police arrested several people on drug charges the week of April 14-21.

Police stopped a vehicle at Harvard Road and Interstate 90 at 1:50 p.m. on April 15. The driver, a 23-year-old Spokane man, was arrested on charges of driving with a suspended license, failure to show proof of liability insurance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Arrested with him were a 20-year-old Spokane woman and a 20-year-old Airway Heights woman, for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Two other people also were arrested on drug charges in separate incidents.

Two fugitives were arrested during the week. A 23-year-old Spokane woman was arrested on warrants for possession of a controlled substance, theft and driving with a suspended license after police received a tip that she was at a Liberty Lake address. The second involved a 19-year-old man wanted on misdemeanor warrant for theft. The wanted man was in the Albertsons parking lot at 10 a.m. on April 16 when a police car drove by. Knowing he was wanted, the man turned himself in.
