(KAIR)--A Saint Joseph, Missouri woman is stopped while driving in Atchison, and the resulting investigation sent her to jail on drug-related charges.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News 40-year-old Heather Church was stopped by deputies late Wednesday morning at the U.S. 59 and U.S. 73 junction. “We had a little bit of information that this vehicle was coming through. When deputies saw it, they were able to conduct a traffic stop based on some traffic infractions. After the stop they were able to locate some narcotics that are illegal in Kansas.”

A Kansas Highway Patrol K-9 unit was used at the scene, and Laurie said that led to the discovery of what’s alleged to be methamphetamine, marijuana, THC edibles, drug paraphernalia, and a firearm.

Church was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of THC, and criminal use of weapons.

Following her arrest, Church was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

According to jail records, she has since been released on a $10,000 bond.
