(KNZA)--Two Sabetha residents were arrested last week after a Jackson County Sheriff's deputy investigated a vehicle parked at the Jackson County Courthouse.

Sheriff Tim Morse says the incident happened shortly after 11:30 on May 26th. The vehicle's registered owner was required to register under the Kansas Offender Registration Act because of a previous drug conviction.

Morse says a sheriff's office K-9 conducted a free-air sniff around the vehicle and alerted deputies to the possible presence of illegal narcotics. A search of the vehicle followed, resulting in two arrests.

Forty-nine-year-old Christina Ann Armstrong , the vehicle's owner and driver, was booked into the Jackson County Jail on allegations of violating the Kansas Offender Registration Act, possession of THC, possession of drug paraphernalia, and disorderly conduct.

Also arrested was 62-year-old Kirk Alan Teske. He was booked on allegations of possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia.
