Darlington County deputies arrested two Horry County men Friday afternoon. They charged Christopher Myers, 40, and Eric Owens, 22, each with one count of Trafficking Marijuana.

Deputies stopped them on Interstate 20 for a traffic violation, according to Capt. Andy Locklair.

They searched the truck the men were in and found $3,000 in cash and 3.1 pounds of marijuana, Locklair said.

The men were traveling from Charlotte, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach.

The two have both posted bond and have been released from the Darlington County Detention Center.
