Search of vehicle leaves 1 facing multiple drug charges

Many individuals in Wisconsin and elsewhere may not always understand how their behavior and responses during a traffic stop might influence what happens next. In some cases, the alleged presence of suspicious behavior could lead to further investigations, such as the search of a vehicle. A recent traffic stop involving similar circumstances has reportedly left a 37-year-old woman in Wisconsin facing numerous drug charges.

According to reports, the incident began after authorities claimed to have spotted a vehicle with expired tags pulling out of a nearby parking lot. After initiating a traffic stop and asking for identification, they say the driver claimed that she did not have a valid drivers’ license and that she had borrowed the car from a friend. Due to records indicating the driver had previous convictions for driving under the influence, police assert that they checked the vehicle for an interlock ignition device, but instead uncovered the presence of illegal substances.

A search of the vehicle allegedly unearthed the presence of various types and amounts of narcotics, including marijuana and methamphetamine. The woman was arrested and is now facing multiple drug-related charges, including felony possession charges. Reports indicate that if a conviction is obtained, the woman could be facing a lengthy jail sentence and significant amounts in monetary fines.

Individuals who face felony drug charges and wish to seek insight in better understanding their options and legal rights could benefit from retaining the services of an attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can evaluate the charges and evidence against a client in Wisconsin and provide guidance in making informed decisions about his or her case. Such guidance could play an integral role in helping a person prepare to seek the most favorable outcome possible concerning his or her situation.
