The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department said a traffic stop led to a drug bust Thursday afternoon on 36 Highway.

The department said around 4 p.m. Deputy Ryan Ford was on U.S. 36 near Mooresville when he clocked a vehicle going 84 in a 65 and pulled over the vehicle with Indiana plates.

“Probable cause was developed to look further into the car stop and upon doing so the deputy recovered marijuana, 2 loaded handguns, ammunition, and $5,702 in cash which were seized,” said Sheriff Steve Cox.

A 33-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman both of Indiana were arrested for alleged misdemeanor drug violations.

The sheriff’s department said the weapons investigation is being transferred to the NITRO Federal Task Force for additional investigation and considerations by the U.S. Attorney due to information obtained.

Both individuals arrested have since posted bond and are scheduled to appear in Livingston County Court on Monday.

Sheriff Cox said the report is being submitted to Livingston County Prosecuting Attorney Adam Warren for further consideration on seized evidence.
