(KAIR)--A Jackson County traffic stop leads to the alleged discovery of a stolen handgun and drugs, and that leads to the arrest of an Ellenwood, Kansas man.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says the vehicle, driven by 33-year-old Stephen Mai, was stopped Thursday afternoon based on a report of reckless driving.
Deputies, after stopping the car, seized the handgun, and what Morse calls “a large amount of substances believed to be methamphetamine, marijuana and other controlled substances.” Additionally, Morse says a large assortment of collectible coins and metals, additional firearms, and thousands of rounds of ammunition were located, along with other property.
Following his arrest, Mai was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges including possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of stolen property, criminal use of a firearm, unlawfully in possession of a prescription drug with the intent to distribute, and driving while suspended.
He's held on a bond of $30,000.
