SALINA- A traffic stop on Interstate 70 just after 6:30 Sunday morning landed two Junction City men in jail on marijuana possession charges.

Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said a deputy running radar on Interstate 70 just east of the Saline-Ellsworth county line stopped an eastbound car going 85 mph in a 75 mph zone.

When the deputy walked toward the car, he noticed a strong odor of marijuana. When the driver got out of the car, he was in possession of a marijuana grinder and told the deputy he had purchased it in Denver.

Another deputy arrived and talked to the passenger in the car, before a search of the car discovered three one-pound bricks of marijuana.

Patrick Farr, 26, and Forgary Smith, 23, were arrested on requested charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, no drug tax stamp, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Farr was also charged with possession of a prescription drug, Oxycontin that did not belong to him.
