Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers found 45 cloned credit cards inside a car during a traffic stop in Canton.

Troopers originally pulled over Myeisha Lanique Houston and Alicia Mona-Joyce Miles for going 46 mph in a 35 mph zone and having a  window tint violation. 

After the troopers smelled marijuana, they conducted a probable cause search and found the credit cards throughout the car. Houston had a loaded firearm inside the vehicle.

The two women were coming back from the TJ Maxx store in Cleveland. They purchased $3,000 worth of merchandise on the cards. Troopers traced the cards back to Synchrony Bank out of Utah. 

Houston has since been released on bond at $25,000. She is charged with tampering with evidence, improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, misusing credit cards, and carrying a concealed weapon.

Miles' bond is set for $5,000. She is charged with misusing credit cards and receiving stolen property.
