What began as a routine weekend traffic stop in Butler turned out to be anything but.

Police said they ended up arresting two alleged drug dealers from Allegheny County after the Saturday evening stop on Center Avenue.

Police reportedly seized bags of marijuana, ecstasy pills, a wad of nearly $1,800 in currency, and a stolen handgun.

Charged with felony and misdemeanor drug possession and receiving stolen property are Taalibe A. Glover, 22, of Pittsburgh and Trevon M. Roberts, 24, of Braddock, Allegheny County.

The defendants are being held in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail each.

Patrolman Travis Buckshire was credited with making the arrests about 7:15 p.m. after he noticed an expired registration sticker on the license plate of the suspects’ 2011 Ford Fusion.

Buckshire pulled over the car at Center and Whippo avenues. When he got to the vehicle he could smell marijuana coming from it, police said.

Glover was later searched and found with $1,795 in currency. In his pockets he also had a small bag of suspected marijuana and 10 pills of what appeared to be the psychoactive drug ecstasy.

Roberts, too, had a small amount of suspected marijuana on him, police said.

While doing inventory of the car, police allegedly found a Mason jar containing 12 bags of marijuana and a plastic bottle with two marijuana buds in it.

---- Also in the car, police found a 9 mm pistol that was previously reported stolen to state police. The gun had a live round in the chamber and nine more rounds in the magazine.
