Miles Clifford Farmer, 32, of Prunedale and Amanda Miyo Farmer, 29, of Pacific Grove were sitting in two cars behind the Motel 6 at 100 Reservation Road in Marina around 9 a.m. when officers ran one of the license plates and discovered that Miles Farmer was a parolee-at-large. Lt. Bob Nolan said officers also learned that Farmer had a previous conviction for operating a meth lab.
When the vehicles were searched, officers discovered a black satchel in one containing items that looked like a portable methamphetamine lab.
