A Lehigh County<\/a> man and a Carbon County woman are facing drug charges after police say they seized more than a pound of methamphetamine in their car during an early morning stop.<\/p>\n

Boehm shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday was driving a 2015 Subaru Legacy along Kuhenbeaker Road in Tunkhannock Township when he was stopped by an officer, police said.<\/p>\n
