BEAUMONT — Two Beaumont men are behind bars after reportedly being found with weapons and drugs on Saturday.

A Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a black Chevrolet Impala around 3:19 p.m. on Interstate 10 near Mile Marker 838. The car briefly pulled over then got back on the highway with flashers on. About five miles down the road the car exited and additional deputies arrived to initiate the traffic stop, according to information from the JSCO.

When the Deputies approached the vehicle, they could smell a strong odor of Marijuana coming from the car. Marijuana residue was in the driver’s seat.

The driver, Jared Bias, 24, of Beaumont, and passenger, Jacoby Lowe, 31, also of Beaumont, were arrested.

A search of the vehicle revealed an AR-15 Rifle with loaded magazine, a loaded Glock handgun, a large bag of marijuana, seven small bags of Xanax, 26 vials of THC oil, two scales and multiple clear bags normally used for distribution of narcotics.

A criminal history check of both of both men revealed that both were convicted felons. Additionally, Lowe had traffic warrants out of Lumberton Police Department and Beaumont Police Department. It was also discovered that Lowe had felony warrants out of Harris County, Louisiana and Arizona.

Both Bias and Lowe were booked into the Jefferson County Correctional Facility for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon with $15,000 bond, possession of marijuana, $2,000 bond, possession of a controlled substance Penalty Group 2, $75,000 bond, and possession of a controlled substance Penalty Group 3, $20,000 bond.

Lowe was also booked for the multiple traffic warrants, a smuggling marijuana warrant and a parole violation warrant.
