(KNZA)--Two separate traffic stops in Jackson County over the weekend along U.S. 75 Highway led to multiple drug arrests.  

Sheriff Tim Morse says the first stop happened Friday evening just after eight o’clock near 126th Road. The passenger in a Ford pickup, 61-year-old Daniel Hyston of Topeka, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, a hallucinogenic drug, and drug paraphernalia. The driver, Frank Newton, also of Topeka, was taken into custody on an outstanding Topeka warrant.  

Then early Sunday morning, shortly before two o’clock, deputies stopped a GMC Terrain near 102nd Road. A search of the vehicle led to the arrest of the driver, 61-year-old Raymond Earl Hughes of Topeka, for possession of methamphetamine and no proof of insurance. The passenger, 60-year-old Julyn Michelle Owens of Topeka, was arrested for possession of a hallucinogenic drug and drug paraphernalia.  

All four were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
