(KNZA)--Two Oklahoma men are facing charges in Jackson County, arrested following a late Thursday morning traffic stop that authorities allege led to the discovery of illegal drugs.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, says the driver, 63-year-old Timothy Wayne Lucas, of Yukon, Oklahoma, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence, transporting and open container.
The passenger, 42-year-old Fredrick Andrew Gooch, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was arrested for distributing methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a hallucinogenic drug and transporting an open container.
Their arrests came after a Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy, around 11:30 Thursday morning, stopped the U-Haul truck the men were in, near 190th Road, on U.S. Highway 75, due to a traffic infraction.
