Two Florida residents are now behind bars after being busted for drugs in Mississippi.

The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday morning that on Aug. 19, the department’s narcotics task force identified two vehicles suspected of trafficking drugs at a gas station in Gulfport.

Investigators then conducted an undercover operation, which resulted in a pair of arrests and 25 pounds of marijuana being found concealed in the cargo area of one of the vehicles. Around $30,000 in cash was also seized as part of the sting.

Yarnesia Ro’Shay McClary, 25, and Elton Bernard McKinzy Jr., 28, were charged with trafficking a controlled substance. Both are of Tallahassee, Fla.

McClary and McKinzy are being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center with their bonds set at $250,000.
