(KNZA)--Two Topeka men were arrested in Jackson County after their vehicle was discovered to be stolen following a traffic stop.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said a Sheriff's deputy initiated a traffic stop on a 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup truck shortly after noon on Saturday north of Delia for allegedly speeding and displaying a license plate not assigned to the vehicle.
After further investigation, Morse said the deputy discovered the truck had been reported stolen out of Topeka.
The driver, 55-year-old David Brooks, was arrested for possession of stolen property and driving while suspended.
The passenger, 58-year-old Earl Thomas Kuhn III, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, interference with law enforcement and on an outstanding warrant for a parole violation.
Both men were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
