CHELYAN, W.Va. -- Four people from Detroit were arrested in Chelyan on Wednesday after they allegedly threw drugs out of their car while being pursued by sheriff's deputies.

Kanawha County sheriff's deputies attempted to stop a car for a traffic violation on the W.Va. Turnpike around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to a news release.
