(KNZA)--An early Monday morning traffic stop in Jackson County led to the arrest of two people on drug distribution charges.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, said a Sheriff- deputy conducted a traffic stop on a mini-van shortly before 1:30 for an alleged traffic violation near 330th Road and U.S. 75 Highway.

During the traffic stop, Morse said the driver, 32-year-old Melissa Marshall, of Twin Falls, Idaho, allegedly provided a false name and date of birth to the deputy.

During the stop, he said a probable cause search of the vehicle led to the discovery of distribution amounts of methamphetamine and psychedelic mushrooms, as well as hallucinogenic drugs and multiple items of drug paraphernalia. In addition, a firearm was also recovered from the vehicle.

Marshall and a passenger, 42-year-old Topeka resident Joshua McCoy, were arrested for distribution of methamphetamine, distribution of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of hallucinogenic drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony interference with law enforcement.

Marshall was also arrested for criminal use of weapons and driving without a driver's license.

Following their arrest, the pair were booked into the Jackson County Jail.
