Thompson was initially booked into the Lewis County Jail on unrelated charges on Sept. 29, according to jail records. Falter was initially booked on unrelated charges on Oct. 7.
Both inmates were residing in the same cell block when corrections deputies located the drugs on Oct. 13, according to court documents.

Bail is set at $20,000 each. Arraignment hearings are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17.
