A traffic stop in Lyon County last week ended in the arrest of two people on drug and other charges.

Lyon County deputies were in the area of Days Inn Drive following up on a robbery complaint Wednesday afternoon when they reportedly saw a vehicle driving recklessly.

The driver allegedly fled from deputies but was stopped soon after on US 62 East.

A search of the vehicle reportedly uncovered a large amount of methamphetamine.

The driver, 48-year-old Michael Melton of Gilbertsville, and passenger, 33-year-old James Harrell of Calvert City, were arrested and taken to the Crittenden County jail.

Melton and Harrell were charged with trafficking in methamphetamine. Melton was additionally charged with fleeing or evading police and several traffic offenses.
