(KNZA)--Two arrests followed a late Monday night Brown Country traffic stop, with a Hiawatha man and a Huron woman both taken into custody on a variety of charges, including drug possession.

A release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says it was shortly after 11:00 Monday night, in the area of 210th Road and U.S. Highway 73, that a deputy stopped a vehicle due to an expired registration.

Merchant, in the release, says the deputy, during the investigation, discovered that the driver, 50-year-old Daniel Jennings, was driving while suspended while the passenger, 37-year-old Tara Hamilton, was found to have an outstanding Atchison County warrant.

Ultimately, Merchant says the pair was arrested at the scene of the stop, with Jennings facing charges for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while license cancelled, suspended or revoked, no proof of insurance, and illegal vehicle registration.

His Huron passenger, Hamilton, faces charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of opiate, and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as the warrant.

Following their arrests, the pair was booked into the Brown County Jail.

The Doniphan County Sheriff's Office assisted at the scene.
