Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said shortly before 11:00 a Sheriff's deputy conducted a traffic stop on a SUV near 150th and Q. Roads for a traffic violation.
The stop led to a search of the vehicle, which revealed what was believed to be drug contraband.
Morse said the front seat passenger, 43-year-old Topeka resident Masheika Davis, was arrested after she was observed attempting to throw a container into the ditch which alleged contained a hallucinogenic drug and methamphetamine.
Davis was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia, felony interference with a law enforcement officer and transporting an open container
During the traffic stop, Morse said it was discovered the backseat passenger, 41-year-old Victoria Everett, of Webster, Texas, was a non-compliant registered offender for distribution of methamphetamine.
Everett was arrested for violation of the Offender Registration Act and transporting an open container.
Following their arrest, both women were booked into the Jackson County Jail where Davis was being held on a $5,000 bond and Everett on a $1,500 bond.
