Erie County Sheriff's made multiple arrests after a traffic stop on Grand Island Boulevard early Friday morning, according to authorities. 

Deputies searched the vehicle where, a quarter ounce of cocaine, two packets of heroin, and a quantity of Vicodin and Clonazepam pills were found in an occupants purse, police say. 

Jo-Weon Abrams, 36, and Andrew Bilicki, 33, of Akron, were arrested.

Abrams was charged with three counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, two violations for possessing a controlled substance that was not in the original container, and two other traffic infractions. 

Bilicki was charged with a felony count of criminal possession of a narcotic with intent to sell, a felony count of criminal possession of a controlled substance, and a misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a controlled substance. 

Officials say they were traveling with a 4-year-old in the vehicle, which led deputies to add a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child to each of them. 

Child Protective Services was notified by officials and the child was later turned over to relatives.

Abrams and Bilicki are held at the Erie County Holding Center pending their arraignments.
