(KAIR)--Three recent traffic stops in Jackson County leads to charges for six.
The first of the three stops came Thursday, August 22, shortly after 9:00 that morning, on U.S. Highway 75, near 174th Road.
According to a release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, a probable cause search of the car followed, leading to the discovery of what's alleged to have been "illegal contraband inside the vehicle."
The driver, 21-year-old David Friend, of Holton, was arrested on charges for possession of cocaine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following his arrest, Friend was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Two Sabetha residents face Jackson County drug-related charges following another traffic stop late last week.
Arrested were 66-year-old Timothy Krogman and 70-year-old William Stewart, both occupants in the pickup truck that Sheriff Tim Morse says was stopped around 8:30 Friday morning.
The Jackson County Sheriff, in a release, explains that during the stop, a probable cause search for illegal drugs was conducted, with that search leading to the pair's arrest.
Krogman was taken into custody on charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of THC, possession of drug paraphernalia, trafficking contraband into correctional facility, and interference with law enforcement; conceal/alter/destroy evidence in felony case.
Stewart was arrested on charges for possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following their arrests, the two were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
A second traffic stop, this one made around 6:00 Saturday evening in southern Jackson County, led to the arrest of three women, including two from Mayetta.
Morse, in a release, says the pickup truck was stopped for a traffic infraction on U.S. Highway 75, near 118th Road, with 39-year-old Ashley Whitetail, and 41-year-old Annie Potts, both of Mayetta, arrested for interference with law enforcement and transporting an open container.
