(KAIR)--A traffic stop for a stolen license plate sent two Winchester men to jail.

Atchison Police Lieutenant Tim Stout says it was Thursday evening at about 5:30 when Atchison Police officers stopped the vehicle on U.S. Highway 73 just south of Atchison’s Walmart.

“At this time officers made contact with the driver of the vehicle, Alfred Gauger, and his passenger, Dakota Castor,” Stout said.

During an investigation, Stout said officers discovered the passenger, 22-year-old Castor was wanted on a Leavenworth County District Court warrant for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery.

Additionally, officers discovered Castor to be in possession of a firearm, which was illegal to him to have due to his criminal history.

Castor was arrested on all three charges.

The driver, 45-year-old Gauger was taken into custody on a charge of stolen property in connection with the stolen license plate.

Both men were taken into county jail.

Gauger has posted his $1,500 bond; Castor remains in jail without bond.
