(KNZA)--A Friday evening Jackson County traffic stop left a Topeka woman facing 22 alleged felony offenses, along with additional misdemeanor and traffic-related violations.
According to a release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, a deputy stopped a Dodge Charger near 142nd Road and U.S. Highway 75 around 6:17 Friday evening for multiple alleged traffic violations.
Morse says the driver was 38-year-old Kendra Gable. Morse says a sheriff’s office K-9 was deployed during the stop and alerted to the presence of illegal drugs in the vehicle. A probable-cause search allegedly resulted in the discovery of illegal drug contraband.
The release lists felony allegations including possession of methamphetamine, interference with law enforcement by concealing, altering, or destroying evidence in a felony case, trafficking contraband into a correctional facility by introducing items onto jail grounds, and multiple alleged violations of the Kansas Offender Registration Act, including eight aggravated counts and 11 additional counts. The release also lists allegations including possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while suspended, and no proof of insurance.
Once in custody, Gable was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
