An Atchison man goes to jail following a traffic stop that resulted in what authorities are calling the seizure of a ½ ounce of methamphetamine.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says it happened Friday when a vehicle driven by 46-year-old Charles Young was stopped in the 500 block of U.S. Highway 73.
Laurie says the stop, which came due to Young driving while suspended, led to the discovery of the meth.
Young was arrested on charges of distribution of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and driving while suspended.
He was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
Another traffic stop last week also sent an Atchison man to jail on meth related charges.
Laurie says 40-year-old William Gehring was stopped Tuesday by a deputy. "We had some information about him driving a vehicle, and we knew him to be suspended. When the Deputies saw him driving, followed him to the location there in the 1500 block of North 7th Street, he stopped him and saw him throw something back into the vehicle, which ended up being methamphetamine."
Gehring was arrested for driving while suspended, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following his arrest, Gehring was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
