HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two residents from California who were arrested on drug distribution charges back in May while traveling through Reno County were both bound over for trial Monday.
Shane Michael Britton and Paris Follman are charged with possession of drugs including methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and possession of methamphetamine. Follman also faces an interference charge.
The two were stopped back on May 19 for driving 75 in a 65 mph zone on U.S. 50 and Andre Road. The deputy was granted permission to search the vehicle using a K-9 and the dog indicated there were drugs. A further investigation led to the discovery of 1.7 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, 1.23 pounds of marijuana and numerous scales. The drug value was estimated around $70,000.
They also found numerous credit, debit and identification cards that didn’t match either one of the defendants.
With the two bound over, their cases move to arraignment on Oct. 1.
