Two women were arrested Thursday after law enforcement conducted a probation search and found evidence of methamphetamine use, according to a Kern County Sheriff's Office news release.

Inside, they found suspected meth sitting on a digital scale and a glass pipe used to smoke meth.

Tiffany Lanquest, 30, was arrested on suspicion of possession of suspected meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, being under the influence of a controlled substance and child endangerment.
