LEBANON, Ohio -- Sheriff's deputies arrested two men, including an illegal immigrant, Wednesday evening on drug charges in Warren County.

A deputy became suspicious of the men after he said they acted nervous during a traffic stop on northbound Interstate 75.

A registration check revealed the driver, 35-year-old Carlos Roberto Guerroro-Soto, was a deported felon.

After placing the driver, a Mexican national, under arrest, the deputy called for a drug-sniffing dog.

Investigators said the dog located 10 1-pound bags of marijuana inside the vehicle.

Deputies also arrested a passenger, 31-year-old Feliciano Belleza Salazar, of Lexington.

Both men remain in police custody at the Warren County Jail on drug trafficking charges.

Guerroro-Soto is also being held on an immigration detainer for a deportation violation.
