(KNZA)--A traffic stop in Jackson County last week led to the arrest of a couple on drug possession charges.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in release, said around 10:00 on the morning of October 8th Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on 150th Road near Q. Road for alleged traffic infractions.

During the course of the traffic stop, Morse said a Jackson County Sheriff- K-9 detected the odor of illegal narcotics inside the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of further illegal drugs.

The driver, 38-year-old Dylan Sanders of Overland Park, was arrested on two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal use of weapons and possession of a firearm by a person who is addicted to or an unlawful user of a controlled substance.

His 46-year-old passenger, Tara Jo Ashley, of Topeka, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of THC and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Following their arrest, the couple were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
