OSP Snared Central Point Woman for Felony Drug Crime after Highway 199 Stop
The Oregon State Police arrested a Central Point woman for a felony-level drug crime last night following a Redwood Highway traffic stop near Selma.
OSP reports troopers pulled over a Toyota Corolla driven by the 31-year-old woman near milepost 18 of US Highway 199 on Tuesday shortly after 10 p.m..
Troopers said they stopped the car for traffic violations and the woman admitted to driving with a suspended license and no insurance. They said a plastic bag with a white crystal substance consistent with methamphetamine was clearly visible in an outside pocket of the driver's purse. She admitted the substance was meth.
According to OSP, the substance was seized, tested, weighed and submitted to the crime lab which determined it was a criminal amount of narcotics.
The suspect was placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. She was being held without bail and her car was impounded for the moving violations.
