Subjects in the car were arrested without incident and the case is being investigated by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Secret Service.

In a separate incident on June 20, members of the F.I.N.D. Unit made another traffic stop on Interstate 20. A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed four ounces of marijuana hidden in the spare tire compartment.
