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

Saline County Undersheriff Roger Soldan said a deputy stopped a speeding 2005 Pontiac Grand Am near mile post 247 on Interstate 70 at about 12:10 a.m.

The deputy noticed the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and discovered 72.9 grams of the drug inside the car in several individually labeled bags as well as several pieces of drug paraphernalia.

Arrested was Jerry Townsend, 19, of Shell Knob, Missouri, and Brandon Wisely, 18, of Holiday Island, Arkansas.

Both men were booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Soldan.
