A pair of Indianapolis men face charges in Marshall County following a weekend traffic stop in Argos.

A Marshall County officer stopped a SUV driven by 22-year-old Larry Lavell Maxie in the area of U.S. 31 and 18th Road for speeding around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

Maxie was reportedly driving on a suspended license and was arrested. The officer also noted a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle.

A search of the interior turned up 23 grams of marijuana, packaged for sale in 17 separate baggies, under the front passenger seat.

The front seat passenger, 21-year-old Damien Dwayne Brown of Indianapolis, was arrested for dealing in marijuana.
