FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Lexington woman was arrested in Floyd County following a traffic stop that led to the discovery of suspected methamphetamine, according to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office.
An arrest citation says deputies stopped a 2017 Jaguar XE on May 21 along Ky. 80 after observing the vehicle cross the double yellow line several times while the driver was allegedly using a cell phone.
The driver, identified as 44-year-old Priscella Dawn Smith of Chestnut Street, was reported to be visibly nervous during the stop.
Deputies later deployed a K9, which alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle, according to the citation.
A search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered approximately one pound of a substance believed to be methamphetamine, along with $1,017 in cash in smaller bills. Deputies also reported finding a set of scales with suspected drug residue.
Smith was taken to the Floyd County Detention Center and charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and unlawful use of a communication device.
