(KNZA)--A Jackson County traffic stop leads to the arrest of two Topeka men on theft and drug charges.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said his office received a report Friday afternoon that a theft suspect from the day before had returned to the Holton Wal-Mart store.

Deputies responded to the store and after the suspects left the store, a Jackson County deputy stopped the suspect’s vehicle just south of Banner Road on US 75 Highway.

Morse said deputies located a number of items believed to be stolen, including a large quantity of electronic products and clothing. Deputies also located alleged drug contraband.

The driver, 31-year-old Shane Heslet, was arrested for theft, possession of stolen property, trespassing, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

The passenger, 25-year-old Andrew Meyer, was arrested for theft, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Both men were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
