A traffic stop Saturday night in Adams County resulted in the arrest of two Nebraska residents on drug charges. Sheriff’s officials say 52-year old Thomas Lee Bendixen and 51-year old Teri V. Scully, both of Lincoln, NE., were charged with Possession of Synthetic Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, after the vehicle they were in was pulled over at around 7:25-p.m Saturday, at the intersection of Highways 34 and 148.

Officials say the Adams County deputy detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A search resulted in the recovery of six bags of synthetic marijuana and a pot pipe. Bendixen and Scully were being held in the Adams County Jail on $500 bond, each.
