Traffic Stop Leads to Drug Bust

According to authorities, around 11:00 pm Sunday, September 11, a Hennessey police officer made a traffic stop for speeding about a 1/2 mile east on highway 51 just past Mitchell Rd. 

According to the report, the driver seemed extremely nervous during the traffic stop, sweating and breathing heavily.  Both driver and passenger were asked to step out of their vehicle due to the smell of marijuana, and neither of them having a medical marijuana card. 

After a search of the car, illegal drugs, including marijuana, ecstasy, and cocaine, were found in the vehicle, along with over $4000 in $100 bills found in their possession.  Both the driver and passenger were placed under arrest and taken to the Kingfisher jail.
