BILLINGS — A man who was stopped for driving the wrong way on Interstate 90 near Billings faces felony charges after officers found more than four pounds of methamphetamine in his vehicle.

The Billings Gazette reports 37-year-old Philip Allan Morris was charged Wednesday with criminal possession with intent to distribute, criminal endangerment and misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Morris was arrested at about 3 a.m. Tuesday after someone reported a vehicle traveling west in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 near Laurel.

Court records say the officer determined Morris was impaired. He obtained a warrant and a search turned up a 9 mm pistol with live rounds and containers of meth hidden in the engine compartment.

Morris did not enter a plea. His bail was set at $50,000 and his District Court arraignment was set for Feb. 13.
