Wrong-way driver faces fentanyl charges

(KAIR)--An Independence, Missouri woman is facing numerous charges in Atchison County, arrested Sunday after being stopped by Atchison Police for driving the wrong way on a city street.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, an officer on patrol, around 4:30 Sunday afternoon, "observed a 2009 Cadillac SUV driving the wrong way on a one way street in the 600 block of South 6th Street."

With the vehicle stopped, it was determined by police that "the driver, Dawn Wolfley, was determined to be driving while suspended."

Wilson says it was during the traffic stop that Wolfley was allegedly "found to be in possession of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle."

Wolfley was arrested on charges for driving while suspended, driving the wrong way on a one way street, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Once in custody, Wolfley was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
