"During the stop, deputies detected the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle," the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office wrote on its Facebook page. "When asked if there was marijuana in the vehicle, Mitchell produced a baggie of marijuana from the passenger floorboard. Both Mitchell and Lewis were taken into custody. 

"A search of the vehicle produced an additional significant amount of marijuana, a set of scales, a loaded handgun between the passenger seat and center console, and a large amount of cash."
