After a routine traffic stop on I-70 the other day two men now face jail time after officials found nearly 6 lbs of meth in a hidden compartment in their vehicle.  Adrian Bucio and Luis Jimenez Ramirez face a variety of drug related charges.  According to the arrest affidavit, their vehicle was initially stopped for following too close to another vehicle.  What tipped off the officer was the odor that came from inside the car and when they searched it they found the stashed drugs in a hidden compartment.  Both men are being held at the Mesa County jail on bonds of  $100 thousand each.
