(KNZA)--Two Leavenworth teenagers, one a juvenile, were arrested in Brown County last week following a traffic stop for speeding.

That's according to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, who says the stop was made around 10:20 Thursday night on U.S. Highway 75, near 230th Road, with K-9 Carla deployed at the scene. According to Merchant, the K-9 officer indicated on the vehicle, leading to a search that is alleged to have recovered several firearms, one of which, Merchant says, had been reported stolen in Missouri.

Arrested was 18-year-old Michael Dibble who was taken into custody for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of stolen property, criminal possession of a weapon by felon, and criminal carrying of weapons.

Following his arrest, Dibble was booked in the Brown County Jail on the charges.

The juvenile passenger, 17-year-old Dewayne Johnson, was found to be wanted in Leavenworth County on a juvenile warrant for battery.

Following his arrest, the teen was transported by a Jackson County Deputy to the Leavenworth County detention center.
