Devan Newson
(KAIR)--An Atchison man is arrested, taken into custody in connection with what authorities say was being in possession of marijuana he intended to sell.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says 22-year-old Devan Newson was the driver of a vehicle that broke down on U.S. Highway 73 at 262nd Road.
An Atchison County Sheriff's Deputy stopped to assist, but soon learned that Newson's driver's license was suspended.
Newson was arrested for that infraction, and that led to a search of his car, where Laurie says 15 individual packages of marijuana was discovered.
Newson now faces charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia, and driving while suspended.
Following his arrest, Newson was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
