(KNZA)--A Highland man is facing drug charges following a Doniphan County traffic stop and the execution of a search warrant.
According to a release from Doniphan County Undersheriff Brendan Wolvington, the Sheriff's office conducted a traffic stop on a Chevy Silverado pickup truck in the 25-hundred block of K-7 Highway in rural Doniphan County during the late evening hours of Saturday, August 16, following a traffic infraction.
During the traffic investigation, Wolvington said a probable cause search of the vehicle led to the discovery of suspected marijuana, cocaine, and numerous amounts of drug paraphernalia.
The driver, identified as 23-year-old Nathaniel Howerton, was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Following his arrest, Howerton was transported and booked into the Doniphan County Jail. He was later released on bond.

During the execution of the warrant, drug paraphernalia and suspected marijuana were located.
The investigation remains ongoing.
