(KNZA)--A traffic stop in Jackson County this week led to the arrest of two Topeka women on drug distribution charges.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, said a deputy stopped a Dodge Charger Monday afternoon north of Holton near 262nd Road and U.S. 75 Highway, for a traffic infraction.

During the investigation, the deputy seized a quantity of what's alleged to be methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and cash from the vehicle.

The driver, identified as 31-year-old Sakeita Young, and her passenger, identified as 49-year-old Melissa Young, were arrested on multiple charges—including possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, no drug tax stamp and transporting an open container.
