Centralia Police arrested two men on felony drug charges following a Friday traffic stop.

42-year-old Mark McClain of South Sycamore and 42-year-old Lawrence Johnson of South Maple in Centralia were both taken into custody for alleged possession of cannabis and a controlled substance as well as manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance and manufacture or delivery of 30 to 500 grams of cannabis.

Centralia Police say both men were passengers in a car stopped in the 400 block of North Sycamore Street.    In addition to cannabis, 27 ecstasy pills were allegedly recovered.

Police say since neither man would admit the drugs belonged to them, both were arrested.

Johnson was also arrested on an outstanding federal warrant.
