Two men were cited on drug charges, and one of the men on a felony warrant, Sunday near the intersection of East Sixth Street and North Campbell Avenue.

University police were driving southbound on Campbell Avenue about 10:44 p.m. when they noticed a van without its tail lights on.

After conducting a traffic stop on the van, the driver, Jason J. Peters, 27, of the 900 block of West Edgewater Drive, told police his driver's license was suspended and his wife had the van's information and insurance, according to police reports.

A record check on Peters showed he had a felony warrant, police reports stated. Police then arrested Peters on the warrant.

After being arrested, Peters told police he had a baggie containing about 11/2 ounces of marijuana in the van, reports stated.

Peters asked his brother, Jamie J. Peters, 20, of the 900 block of West Edgewater Drive, to get the marijuana because he knew where it was. Jamie Peters retrieved the marijuana for police, and police took the baggie as evidence, police reports stated.

Both Jason and Jamie Peters told police they had purchased the marijuana for their father for medicinal reasons. Jason Peters told police his father was "very sick."

Jason Peters told police he did not have documentation stating his father had permission from a doctor to possess and use marijuana.

Police arrested Jamie Peters on a charge of possession of marijuana and added a charge of possession of marijuana to Jason Peters' felony warrant arrest.

Jason Peters was booked into Pima County Jail. Jamie Peters was taken to police headquarters and released after signing a promise to appear in court.
