Two people face drug charges after their arrest during a traffic stop Wednesday at Clay and Cherry streets.

DeMichael Jones, 27, and Erin Bowers, 18, both of 303 Hillside Drive, face charges of possession of marijuana and possession of the drug Ecstasy. They were being held without bail in the Madison County Jail pending an initial appearance Friday in Vicksburg Municipal Court.

According to police reports, officers with the police department’s NET Team stopped the car the couple were in because the car did not have a tag. When officers approached the car, they detected the odor of marijuana and investigated. A search of the car revealed less than an ounce of marijuana and 16 Ecstasy tablets.
