Authorities arrested two area men after a traffic stop on Valentine’s Day.

According to a release from the Marshall Police Department, while on patrol at approximately 6:45 p.m., officers observed a vehicle fail to stop at a stoplight and conducted a traffic stop. After the driver said he had been consuming marijuana, officers asked for consent to search the vehicle, and the driver consented.

During the search, officers say they found two handguns; a 30-round magazine; a 60-round drum magazine; a 9mm magazine; over 40 grams of Marijuana; 100-plus 2mg Xanax bars; and more than $20,000 in cash. Officers conducted a computer inquiry of the firearms and learned one gun was stolen.

Authorities are seeking multiple felony charges.

Per KMMO policy, the names of the suspects will not be released until formal charges are filed.
