Navajo County, Arizona authorities have been looking for the couple that was missing in Oregon

(ASHLAND AP) - Arizona authorities have issued a warrant on drug-related charges for a couple who were among a family of six rescued from a snowbound motor home this week.

This is according to court documents and a newspaper report.

Warrants were issued for Elbert and Becky Higginbotham on Wednesday, the day after they were rescued.

According to records in Arizona, Elbert Higginbotham is wanted on charges of possession of dangerous drugs for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia.

All are felonies. According to the records, his wife is wanted on charges of possession of dangerous drugs for sale and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The Ashland Daily Tidings says the warrant was issued after Arizona authorities saw T-V coverage of the Higginbothams and the four others stranded on a back road.

The Higginbothams are from Arizona.
