DeKALB – Six people were arrested on various drug charges after police said they found more than two ounces of marijuana wax and $4,387 in cash in a vehicle with two of them.

Police said Andrew Brown, 27, of the first block of Jennifer Lane in DeKalb and Cody Landwehr, 21, of the 100 block of Oak Drive in DeKalb, were arrested Tuesday after police stopped their vehicle in a shopping plaza at 817 W. Lincoln Highway, court records show.

A search revealed that Landwehr had marijuana wax, a digital scale and $4,387 in cash, according to court records.

Landwehr was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Brown later told police he also had methamphetamine in a hotel room at the Red Roof Inn in DeKalb.

Police searched the room, where they found about a gram of meth and more than a pound of marijuana on the same day, records show.

“We had recently gotten the information, and we initiated an investigation right away,” DeKalb police Sgt. Steve Lekkas said.

Brown was charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.
