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 assisting 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 allegedly 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.
