Yavapai County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a couple on drug charges at a service station in Humboldt. Deputies responded to the Shell Station on Main Street and Highway 69 early Saturday morning for a report of an unconscious driver at the pumps. 

Upon arrival, deputies found a man and a woman in the vehicle unconscious and observed Fentanyl pills and drug paraphernalia in plain view. Deputies observed that the man had possibly stopped breathing and called for paramedics, however as soon as the door was opened, both man and woman woke up.
