(KNZA)--A traffic stop and subsequent search of a motel room leads to the arrest of a Holton woman on drug charges.

Jackson County Tim Morse, in a release, said a sheriff's deputy stopped a Hyundai Elantra Saturday morning around 10:40 for allegedly failing to display a license plate on the vehicle in the 100 block of Arizona Avenue in Holton.

During the traffic stop, Morse said a hallucinogenic drug was found in the vehicle.

He said a subsequent search was conducted by deputies of a room at the Red Roof Inn in Holton where the driver was believed to be staying.  A substance believed to be cocaine was seized along with drug paraphernalia.
