(MUNCIE) - A Muncie woman was arrested last evening for possession of heroin after she was stopped for failing to signal a turn.
Indiana State Trooper Sam Cook stopped the Buick at Adams and Madison St. after it failed to signal a turn from Hackley to Adams Street.
After making contact with the driver, 25-year-old Shalone Strong, of Muncie, he became suspicious. A Muncie Police Department K-9 unit, Officer Carrington, was nearby and came to assist. The K-9 did a walk around open-air sniff of the outside of the vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotics.
A search of the vehicle turned up syringes, smoking pipes and two small bags containing heroin.
Strong was arrested and charged with possession of heroin and possession of a syringe, both Level 6 Felony charges. In addition she was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and driving while her driver's license was suspended, both misdemeanor charges.
Strong was lodged in the Delaware County Jail.
Anyone with information about illegal drug activity may call the Indiana State Police Drug Tip Line at 1-800-453-4756. Tips can be made and kept anonymous.
