A routine traffic stop on I-87 led to the arrest of two men in possession of a significant quantity of illegal substances, according to New York State Police.

Troopers from Tarrytown, participating in the Rockland County Violent Crime Suppression Detail, pulled over a 2019 Honda Pilot around 8:26 p.m. Friday. The driver and his passenger were taken into custody after a police K-9 alerted officers to the vehicle.

A search uncovered over 100 grams of illegal substances. Both men were charged with multiple felony counts, including third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and intent to sell.

Following their arraignment in Clarkstown town court, they were remanded to the Rockland County Jail. Their next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday in Ramapo town court.
