VIRGINIA COUPLE ARRESTED ON FELONY FENTANYL CHARGES AT CRAB ORCHARD GAS STATION

Two Virginia residents were arrested on Sunday afternoon after Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies discovered suspected fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in their vehicle at a Crab Orchard gas station.
On November 8, 2026, at approximately 3:37 PM, Sergeant Seiber responded to a call regarding two highly intoxicated individuals at the Shell station located at 10016 Highway 70 East. Upon arrival, deputies located a man swaying with a dog on a leash and a female passenger slumped over inside a 2018 white Toyota RAV4.
Officers observed a glass smoking pipe with burnt residue on the dashboard in plain view. Following a search of the vehicle, deputies recovered a skull-shaped wooden box containing cut straws, baggies of off-white powder suspected to be fentanyl, and nine pink pills stamped with a Playboy bunny emblem also believed to be fentanyl.
The suspects were identified as 39-year-old James William Forrest Kelly and 40-year-old Mollyn Gwynne Gregor Watkins, both of Henrico, Virginia. Both were taken into custody and transported to the Cumberland County Jail.
Each faces charges of felony possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, with bond set at $42,000 each. Their court date is scheduled for December 7, 2026. Two pets found in the vehicle were transferred to the local animal shelter by Animal Control, and the vehicle was towed.
