(KNZA)--A 43-year-old Horton woman is among two arrested following an early morning Jackson County traffic stop just prior to last weekend's start.
It happened, according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, around 4:00 this past Friday morning near 110th Road and U.S. Highway 75 when a "Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a Ford Escape for a traffic infraction."
That stop, Morse says in a release, led to the two arrests, with Horton resident Stella Mahkuk, a passenger in the vehicle, arrested for possession of cocaine, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and transporting an open container.
The driver, 62-year-old Dewayne Anderson, of Topeka, was arrested for possession of stolen property, transporting an open container, illegal registration and no insurance.
Once the pair was in custody, they were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
