A traffic stop early Saturday morning led to the arrest of two Kansas City area men on several requested drug charges.

Saline County Undersheriff Roger Soldan said a deputy near mile marker 247 on Interstate 70, clocked an eastbound vehicle going 85 miles per hour in a posted 75 miles per hour zone just after 12:45 a.m.

The deputy stopped the vehicle, a 2011 Honda Fit, moments later and while talking with the driver, noticed a smell of marijuana and also observed that the driver and a passenger appeared to be under the influence.

Soldan said approximately 299.8 grams of marijuana, 47 1/2 Xanax pills, and several pieces of various drug paraphernalia were found during a search of the vehicle. Deputies also found receipts indicating the vehicle had recently been in Colorado.

Deputies arrested the driver, 28-year-old Levi Regnier of Kansas City, Kansas, and a passenger, 20-year-old Shawn Vanderpool of Overland Park.

Regnier was booked on requested charges of possession of a depressant, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while suspended and driving under the influence. He also had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Kansas City, according to Soldan.

Vanderpool was booked on requested charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.
