On Sunday evening, May 17, an officer on patrol initiated a traffic stop on Main Street after observing a white Nissan Altima failing to maintain its lane.
During the stop, the driver, Kristen Tull, granted consent to search the vehicle. A subsequent search revealed the following items hidden inside a pouch in her purse:
• A plastic baggie containing a white crystal substance (m**hamphetamine)

Tull was taken into custody without incident, and her vehicle was towed from the scene. After being advised of her Miranda rights, she admitted the illegal substances belonged to her.
She was transported to Headquarters for processing and issued citations for:
• Possession of a Controlled Substance
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
