Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Two men were arrested in Brownsville Friday night after a traffic stop, according to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities reported that deputies initiated a traffic stop on a 2005 Pontiac Aztec after observing the vehicle drop off the roadway when making a right turn into Park View Trailer Park, located behind the Edmonson County 5/6 Center.

According to a press release from the Sheriff's Office, the driver of the vehicle, Christopher L. Russell (48) of Brownsville showed visible signs of intoxication, which prompted a series of field sobriety tests that Russell allegedly failed.

Deputies also found four Codeine pills in a bottle marked for Penicillin in the console of the vehicle, the release stated. The Sheriff's Office also said that the passenger, identified as James H. Constant, (55) of Bowling Green, had marijuana edibles in one of his pockets and drug paraphernalia hidden on his person.
