Sheriff Wood says the two men were located at a gas station along with Barstow's baby boy.
Inside their vehicle, deputies found 7.5 grams of black tar heroin along with pills and syringes.
Deputies also searched the home where the men were staying, and found a substance believed to be cocaine, along with more syringes.
The street value of the heroin is $4,500.
Other charges are pending in the case.
