Four New Yorkers were jailed on drug charges Friday following a traffic stop in Rush Township.

According to a state police news release, the four were stopped along Interstate 80 by state police at Rockview. The trooper noted the smell of marijuana and conducted a probable cause search.

Several different drugs were seized from the vehicle, the release said, including mushrooms, ketamine, ecstasy capsules and packages of marijuana.

Taken into custody were Javier Hernandez, 24, of Corona, N.Y.; Edward Benitez, 27, of West Babylon, N.Y.; Derik Munoz, 24, of Astoria N.Y.; and Karla Garcia, 21, of New York, N.Y.
