A vehicle stop Friday led to two arrests for illegal drugs in Moniteau County.

Deputies received two calls of a vehicle traveling north on Missouri 87 driving erratically and weaving on the roadway, according to Moniteau County Sheriff's Department reports.

Deputies stopped the vehicle just south of Route T. The driver was identified as Abra Stone, 38, of Clarksburg. A passenger, Nicholas Scott, 38, of Clarksburg, was later taken to an area hospital to be treated for what appeared to be a drug overdose.

Deputies searched the vehicle and located a "substantial" amount of methamphetamine and a small amount of heroin.
