The stop led to a search of the vehicle, as officers noted the odor of marijuana and observed an open alcohol container.  The subsequent search found Lowe to be in possession of methamphetamine level 5 felony and a legend drug level 6 felony.  French was charged with the driver's license violation.  

Both Lowe and French have the presumption of innocence until otherwise proven guilty. Officer Curtis Shelpman executed the stop and was assisted by Captain Season Jackson.
