A 27-year-old man was arraigned Tuesday in Superior Court at Kenai Courthouse on two additional drug charges from a February incident. The charges are from a traffic stop in Homer when an Alaska State Trooper discovered an alleged mobile methamphetamine lab in the man’s car.

Timothy Igou, 27, is charged with two counts of second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance. He was previously charged with one count of fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance. All counts are felony charges.

Igou’s attorney, Shana Theiler, was unavailable for the arraignment so her partner,  Will Walton from Walton, Theiler & Wingarden, LLC, entered pleas of not guilty on Igou’s behalf.

According to charging documents filed by Trooper David Chaffin, Chaffin pulled over Igou after he allegedly failed to signal for a right turn from Lake Street onto the Sterling Highway on Feb. 23.

While speaking to Igou through the driver side window of the 2000 Oldsmobile Sedan, the trooper saw a handgun — which was later found to be a pellet gun — between Igou’s legs. Chaffin patted down Igou after having him exit the vehicle. The trooper found a pipe that Igou allegedly admitted he used to smoke meth. Chaffin then found a dime baggie of meth.

A trooper dispatch reports Chaffin discovered indications that Igou was cooking meth in a mobile lab or “shake-and-bake” lab in his car. Due to the hazardous toxins and danger of explosion from the chemicals used to make meth, the area of the traffic stop was closed.

Igou is incarcerated at Wildwood Correctional Center. His next court date is scheduled for today.
