(KNZA)--A Brown County traffic stop leads to a search of a Horton residence, and to the arrest of two on drug and child endangerment charges.
The case began Saturday night, shortly before 11:00 , with Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, in a release, saying that a deputy requested use of K-9 Carla during the traffic stop on K-20 Highway, near Falcon Road.
According to the release, K-9 Carla "indicated on the vehicle," with "information gathered at the scene" leading to the issuance of the search warrant, which was then executed at 250 East 8th Street, in Horton.
The search, initiated by the Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force, led to the alleged discovery of drug related items.
Once the search was completed, two Horton residents, 49-year-old Glenda Mendez and 47-year-old Tyrone Mendez, were taken into custody.
Glenda Mendez was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, felony obstruction and child endangerment.
Tyrone Mendez was arrested for possession of meth, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and child endangerment.
Once in custody, both were booked into the Brown County Jail.
The Horton Police Department assisted at the scene of the search.
