Estherville, IA (KICD)– Two people are facing drug charges following separate Emmet County traffic stops earlier this month.

The second arrest a little over 24 hours later near Wallingford were 35-year-old Jeremy Barnes of Lakefield was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for an equipment violation and was ultimately charged with second offense possession of marijuana and THC along with possession of drug paraphernalia.
