(KAIR)--Two men face charges after a late-night traffic stop in Jackson County led to the discovery of what’s alleged to be illegal drugs.
Sheriff Tim Morse reports that around 10:30 Monday night, a Jackson County deputy conducted a stop on a Dodge Journey for multiple alleged traffic violations along U.S. Highway 75 near 118th Road.
During the stop, a Sheriff’s Office K-9 alerted to the alleged presence of illegal drugs inside the vehicle. A probable-cause search followed, and deputies allegedly found narcotics and other illegal substances.
The driver, identified as 26-year-old Irving Dawayne Edwards, and the passenger, 22-year-old Juantario Isia Roberts, both of Topeka, were taken into custody.
Both men face charges for distribution and possession of stimulants, marijuana, and narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia, and no drug tax stamp.
Edwards also faces charges for driving while suspended, no insurance, and unlawful display of license plates.
Once in custody, both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
