Stafford General District Court records identify Nguyen as Thuong Thi Hoai Nguyen and list the possession charge under Virginia Code § 18.2-250 as a Class 5 felony. The records show she was arrested Sept. 15 and remained listed in custody when the court record was reviewed on Thursday morning.

Court records identify Pham as Hung Thanh Pham and show he faces the same Class 5 felony charge. He also was listed in custody.

Both cases are scheduled for preliminary hearings at 1 p.m. Dec. 10 in Stafford General District Court. Their Sept. 15 arraignments were continued, according to court records.

The court records do not show a disposition in either case. Pham is represented by attorney Reginald Henderson, while the court record lists a public defender for Nguyen.
