— Police arrested Angela Walker, 34, on charges of possession of a controlled substance (1.6 grams of meth) and theft of services during a traffic stop on 10th Street. “As I got behind the vehicle it immediately turned into a parking lot,” the report said. “I got behind the vehicle and as it was driving I observed something small and white leave the passenger side window of the vehicle, the vehicle stopped as I initiated a traffic stop on it. A white male began to approach the passenger side of the vehicle. While getting closer to the vehicle I hit a curb in the parking lot causing my back tire to go flat, when I struck the curb it made a loud noise causing the male to throw his hands in the air. His hands were open as I exited my vehicle. I gave verbal commands for the male to back away from the vehicle while I made contact with the occupants.” The officer said he could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and the driver said they had just dropped off someone who had been smoking marijuana in the truck earlier. The officer searched the vehicle. “I suspected Walker to be in possession of narcotics due to her criminal history with controlled substances and her behavior,” the report said. “She kept asking (one of the vehicle occupants) to call her family because she believed she was about to be arrested. She also kept apologizing to the driver saying she was sorry for getting him in trouble.” The officer reportedly found a small baggie of meth in the area where he believed the item landed.
