(KNZA)--Two Topeka residents were arrested early Saturday morning in Jackson County on felony drug charges.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, said a sheriff's deputy stopped to assist a motorist near 150th and Q.4 Road shortly before 4:00.

Morse said the deputy subsequently arrested 43-year-old Jessie Dale Earwood and his passenger, 35-year-old Janelle Velta Marie Martin.

Earwood was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, two misdemeanor drug counts, driving while suspended and transporting an open container.

Martin was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and two misdemeanor drug counts.

Both were booked into the Jackson County Jail.

In a separate incident, a Topeka man was arrested Saturday afternoon on drug charges following a Jackson County traffic stop.

A sheriff's deputy stopped a Chevy Trailblazer east of U.S. 75 Highway on 142nd Road for a traffic infraction.

Morse said the traffic stop resulted in the passenger, 47-year-old Raymond Slater being arrested on drug charges.

Slater was booked into the Jackson County Jail for possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Morse said additional felony drug charges on Slater will be forwarded to the Jackson County Attorney for prosecution.
