A traffic stop around midnight Monday landed a Clinton man in jail on drug and DUI charges. 

A deputy with the McCracken County Sheriff's Office stopped a vehicle driven by 32-year-old Travis Jones of Clinton for a violation near North Friendship and Hunter’s Ridge Road. During the stop, the deputy reportedly determined that Jones was under the influence and arrested him.

Jones was charged with trafficking in marijuana, driving under the influence of alcohol, and speeding. He was taken to the McCracken County Regional Jail.
