Traverse City Woman Arrested After Giving Troopers False Name in Missaukee Co.
On Friday around 11:13 p.m. Michigan State Police trooper stopped a woman driving a 2007 Chevrolet HHR for an equipment violation on M-55 near 9 Mile Road in West Branch Township.
Troopers noticed there was a half-empty bottle of Kahlua inside the vehicle.
According to State Police, when asked for her driver’s license, the woman stated she did not have it with her.
She told the troopers who she was, but when the troopers compared the SOS image of the person she claimed to be, it did not match.
Upon further investigation, troopers found a prescription drug bottle with the driver’s real name. She was identified as a 44-year-old Traverse City resident, and her license was revoked.
Troopers also found two small baggies of suspected methamphetamine inside her purse along with two small vials of suspected cocaine.
She was arrested and lodged at the Missaukee County Jail facing charges of possession of methamphetamine and cocaine, providing false information to a police officer, and driving with a revoked license.
