(KNZA)--A traffic stop in Brown County Wednesday evening led to the arrests of two Houston, Texas residents on drug charges.

According to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, a Brown County deputy initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding on U.S 75 Highway near 200th Road shortly after 9:00.

Upon contact, Merchant said a probable cause search of the vehicle resulted in locating meth pipes, a bong, as well as suspected methamphetamine and marijuana.

Both the driver, 35-year-old George Caracostis, and the passenger, 24-year-old Kiara Leone, were arrested on charges of possession of meth, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Leone also had a felony $10,000 failure to appear warrant out of Galveston County, Texas.

Following their arrest, both were booked into the Brown County Jail. Caracostis was released Thursday on a $2,500 O.R. bond.
