PHILLIPS COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating four suspects on drug charges after an arrest in Northwest Kansas.
On April 21, a traffic complaint about an SUV traveling at a high rate of speed resulted in Phillips County Sheriff 's deputies asisting the Kansas Highway Patrol in the recovery of a significant amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to a media release.
Four New York state residents were returning from the Colorado 420 festivities and thought it was a good idea to travel home with some souvenirs. This resulted in them spending some time in taxpayer provided lodging at the Phillips County courthouse.
Charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia are pending. The sheriff's office released no additional details Friday afternoon.
