HPD

According to a press release, Howe police officer Jordan Clark arrested a 32-year-old Willow Park, TX woman for possessing nearly a pound of Methamphetamine early Tuesday morning.  She was also charged for possessing 107 un-prescribed Hydrocodone tablets, less than 2 ounces of Marijuana, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, and Tampering with Identification Numbers.

 

Police say the woman was stopped for a traffic violation on around 2:00am as she was traveling south on US Hwy 75 in Howe.  After noticing the driver was extremely nervous and had conflicting travel plans, reports indicate that Officer Clark became suspicious and asked for consent to search the truck she was driving.  Officer Clark said the woman refused to allow him to search.  Police say Bells police officer Scott Kilmer arrived at the scene and that his canine “Gypsy” alerted to the presence of a narcotic odor coming from inside the woman’s vehicle.

 

The press release stated that the search revealed 14 ounces of Methamphetamine, Hydrocodone tablets, Marijuana, and a .380 pistol with altered serial numbers inside.  Additionally police say they discovered that the 2015 Toyota Tundra was stolen out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  The street value of the Methamphetamine is estimated at nearly $40,000, according to Officer Clark.

The woman was booked into the Grayson County Jail.
