Three Texas residents on their way home from Colorado have made an unexpected stop at the Saline County Jail, after marijuana and cocaine were found in their car late Monday night.

Captain Roger Soldan said a deputy noticed a passenger car was going east on I-70 in the passing lane about 11:40pm.

The deputy pulled the car over just south of the I-70/I-135 junction, and noticed a strong odor of marijuana as he approached the car.

Other deputies were called in, and during a search more than 500 grams of marijuana, and 73 grams of cocaine were found in the trunk and passenger compartment of the car.

The three occupants in the car, 19-year-old Christian M. Martinez, Rosharon Texas, 19-year-old Jesus A. Sanchez, Pearland Texas, and Thomas B. Stippick, age not available, of Pearland Texas, were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
