Minden police arrested her in January on the drug charges during a traffic stop. She was a passenger in the vehicle, and officers knew she had outstanding warrants for her arrest. Once the traffic stop was made, she was immediately taken into custody.
During a search of the vehicle and her purse, a small amount of synthetic marijuana was discovered, police said. She also reportedly told police she was in possession of methamphetamines on her person.
Captain Robert Hayden, with the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office, with his K-9 partner, Chesapeake Cyndi, were called to the scene, at which time she alerted on both the driver’s and passenger sides of the vehicle, according to the police report.
A search of the vehicle revealed two pill bottles wrapped in duct tape with two baggies, Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper said. Also located inside the vehicle was a cigarette pack containing a loose leafy green substance suspected to be marijuana as well as a syringe.
