Jackson County Deputies arrested a man and woman from Ottawa, after meth and other contraband was found in their possession during a traffic stop, early Friday morning, August 26. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says 39 year old Barbara Morris and 41 year old Jason Alexander, both of Ottawa, were arrested early Friday morning, near 150th and Q Road.
Deputies say they stopped a 2009 jeep Compass for a traffic violation around 1:00 in the morning. One of the occupants allegedly attempted to get rid of a meth pipe in the ditch during the stop. Officials say a search led to the discovery of even more contraband. As a result, Morris was booked into the Jackson County Jail for distribution of methamphetamine, possession of a hallucinogenic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia and interference with law enforcement. Alexander was also booked into jail for possession of tramadol and drug paraphernalia.
