Chicolby Johnson, 23, 3655 Wisconsin Ave., and Jasmine Holt, 23, 703 Blossom Lane, were arrested about 10:30 p.m. Sunday following a traffic stop at Cherry Street and Shannon Alley.

Deputies found a .25-caliber semi-automatic handgun and seven doses of Ecstasy, a schedule 1 controlled substance.

Both face drug possession charges, and Holt faces a charge of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon.

Pace said Holt was being held for the Mississippi Department of Corrections because she is on probation and would not be eligible for bond after the initial hearing.
