Police: Marijuana, guns found during traffic stop
A Virginia man is behind bars on six-figure bond after state police said they stopped him for speeding Monday in Franklin Township and found marijuana, three handguns and more than $1,500 in currency.
Elisha H. Harrell, 22, of Woodbridge is facing felony drug possession and other charges. He is in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bond.
Trooper Philip Treadway was running radar on Route 422 near Pleasant Valley Road around 6:10 p.m., police said, when he clocked a car with a Virginia license plate traveling 90 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper stopped the car near the Route 528 intersection and identified Harrell as the driver. A check of the license plate allegedly found that it was stolen out of Virginia. The plate also was not registered to the car the defendant was driving.
