(KAIR)--Two separate arrests were made Thursday in Atchison County, with two men facing drug related charges in connection with unrelated crimes.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News the first happened in the morning, following the report of a suspicious vehicle, in Huron.
The report led to Deputy response, and to the arrest of 44-year-old Frank Goodpasture, of Atchison. "Deputies were dispatched to Huron, in the 100 block of Myrtle Street, for a suspicious vehicle driving around the area. When the Deputy arrived out there, he encountered Mr. Goodpasture, and during his discussion with him, he located what's believe to be methamphetamine and a pipe use to smoke methamphetamine."
Goodpasture faces charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following his arrest around 10:30 Thursday morning, Goodpasture was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

The second arrest stemmed from an unrelated investigation that had been ongoing for 4-months in Atchison focused on the alleged sale of illegal drugs.
Laurie says that led to the arrest of 42-year-old Atchison resident Dedrick Haley during a Thursday night traffic stop in the 500 block of U.S. Highway 73, in Atchison. "This was another case where we had been working for quite a few months now, and Deputies were finally able to make some [alleged drug] purchases from Mr. Haley, and he became a target about 4-months ago."
Haley now faces charges of distribution of methamphetamine, distribution of marijuana, and distribution of drug paraphernalia for illegal use.
Laurie says Haley was not found in possession of drugs at the time of the traffic stop, around 10:30 Thursday night.
Following his arrest, Haley was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
