FAIRMONT — A homeless man and a Jackson woman are facing felony charges in Martin County.

Johnathan Douglas Oldenkamp, 27, and Kimberley Jo Howell, 28, have each been charged with two counts of drug possession in the fifth degree. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

According to the complaint:

On Aug. 24, a Martin County sheriff’s deputy was traveling south on Highway 263 when he observed a motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction. The deputy’s radar indicated the motorcycle was traveling in excess of the posted speed limit.

The deputy initiated a traffic stop, and the driver was identified as Oldenkamp and the passenger as Howell.

It was determined that Oldenkamp did not have a valid driver’s license and Howell did not have a motorcycle license. The motorcycle is registered to Howell.

The deputy also determined there was no insurance on the motorcycle.

After the motorcycle was towed, the deputy offered the pair a ride to Fairmont.

The deputy advised that they would need to be patted down for weapons before being transported, and he observed that Howell became nervous.

The deputy patted down Oldenkamp and discovered a glass meth pipe with white residue inside it. The deputy asked if it was used to smoke meth and Oldenkamp said he did not know what it was.

The pipe tested positive for meth, and Oldenkamp was placed under arrest.

The deputy then spoke with Howell, who was advised that Oldenkamp was arrested for possession of a meth pipe. Howell again became nervous.

When asked if there were any drugs on her, Howell said she was not sure what was in her purse. The deputy asked if he could search her purse and she gave it to him. In the purse, the deputy discovered a small black case containing three pipes.

Also discovered was a Ziplock baggie containing a white crystal substance and a sticky substance wrapped in paper. Howell pointed to the sticky substance and said it was “dabs,” the street name commonly used to refer to THC wax concentrate. Howell said she does not use drugs and had been given the case by Oldenkamp as he was being pulled over.

Howell was placed under arrest.

At the jail, the white crystal substance and the discovered pipes all tested positive for meth. The waxy substance tested positive for marijuana.

Oldenkamp was interviewed and admitted to forgetting the pipe was in his sweatshirt. When asked about the pipes discovered in the black case, Oldenkamp was hesitant to talk about those items.

Toward the end of the conversation, Oldenkamp said the items in the black case were his and that he had given the case to Howell when the deputy had activated his lights during the stop.

The deputy then spoke with Howell, who initially denied smoking meth. The deputy observed she appeared fidgety and was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

The deputy told Howell she appeared to be under the influence of something, and Howell then admitted she does smoke meth on occasion. She also admitted to recently using meth.
