Police arrested two men Thursday after pulling them over for speeding.

A UAPD officer saw the men at about 1:43 a.m. in a 1992 Ford F150 pickup truck traveling eastbound on East Speedway Boulevard.

According to reports, the truck was traveling at 51 mph.

The officer pulled James Hensley, 23, of the 7700 block of East Speedway Boulevard, over at North Forgeus Road.

When he approached the vehicle, he noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the cab of the truck, reports stated.

Hensley's eyes seemed bloodshot and his eyelids looked droopy, reports stated.

The officer asked Hensley and his passenger, Jeremy Cossairt, 22, of the 7700 block of East Speedway Boulevard, if they had been smoking marijuana, reports stated.

The two men denied smoking marijuana and consented to a search of the vehicle, reports stated.

The officer found a metal smoking device with possible marijuana residue in the ashtray, reports stated.

As he went around the front of the truck to search the passenger side, he noticed another metal smoking device on the ground behind the front passenger tire, reports stated.

Cossairt admitted to owning the device, reports stated.
