(KNZA)-Two individuals were arrested on drug charges following separate traffic stops Saturday afternoon in Jackson County.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said a Sheriff’s deputy stopped a 1999 Ford F-150 pickup near 142nd and US Hwy 75 shortly before 12:30 after identifying the driver as having a revoked driver’s license.
The driver, 52-year-old Everett Barton, of Topeka, was arrested for being in possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal use of weapons, driving while revoked and no drug tax stamp.
Barton was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Morse said a Sheriff’s deputy then stopped a 2017 Chevy Cruze near 174th and US Highway 75 around 2:30 for a traffic infraction.
Further investigation led to the arrest of the driver, 45-year-old Horton resident Amanda Monser, for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a license.
Monser was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
