KENT, Ohio, May 4 (UPI) -- Three men are in custody in Ohio following major drug bust at the Kent State Airport, authorities said.

WEWS-TV of Cleveland reported Sunday that the Stow Police Department was tipped off by federal authorities about an inbound private plane that was suspected of carrying drugs.

Local police were in place when the plane landed and allegedly found more than a pound of cocaine on the 2006 Cessna 182 airplane.

The driver of a truck that approached the plane, Robert Hawes Jr. was arrested along with the pilot, Malcolm Sales, and a passenger, Tommy Gonzales.

The plane and the truck were seized pending forfeiture, the station reported.

The three were charged with possession of drugs, and were taken to the Summit County Jail where they are being held pending arraignment Monday.

Federal charges also are pending, it was reported.
