Vernon County Sheriffs Office: Kansas residents arrested for possession after asleep in car in middle of the road.

Vernon County Deputies were dispatched to a report of a vehicle in the middle of the road on the northwest part of the county. The caller stated that two people appeared to be sleeping or passed out in the vehicle. When deputies arrived, they discovered what is believed to be drug paraphernalia and a controlled substance in the vehicle. Both individuals who are from Kansas were arrested, but names have not been released pending the filing of formal charges. Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher said vehicles traveling across state lines with drugs is an ongoing problem. “We are constantly finding vehicles close to the state line hoping they can jump across the state line to avoid detection of law enforcement” said Sheriff Mosher. The Sheriff said his office has a good working relationship with law enforcement in Kansas and they are working together to stop those who traffic drugs across state lines.
