Evans and her husband, record executive Todd Russaw, were pulled over by police on Tuesday night near their home in Alpharetta, Georgia. The couple�s vehicle reportedly had an improperly displayed license plate.
The officers that pulled them over discovered a "minimal amount of marijuana" and "cocaine residue" in their possession.
The Fulton Country Sheriff Department reportedly charged Evans with a vehicle violation (improper registration tag) and for possession of a controlled substance, and Russaw was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana (less than an ounce).
The couple had a preliminary hearing on Wednesday morning, where bail was set at $12,000 for Evans and $11,000 for Russaw.
They are scheduled to return to court on February 11th.
Evans� attorney told reporters that Evans
was not in possession of narcotics and called the charges "absolutely ridiculous,
especially concerning Ms. Evans."
