A traffic stop around midnight last Thursday by Galesburg Police led to the arrest of all three occupants for drug charges. A sedan that police recognized with expired registration was observed on North Seminary Street near Main. The car also failed to signal and police conducted a traffic stop.
Officers made contact with the 39-year-old female driver, her 63-year-old front-seat passenger, and the 68-year-old rear passenger. All three were acting suspiciously attempting to hide something, according to police reports. Officers then observed the female driver attempting to conceal what appeared to be a meth pipe, and she was detained. The rear passenger admitted to possessing crack cocaine and handed it over. A baggie of suspected crack cocaine was found near the driver’s seat and a folded-up dollar bill containing suspected meth. All three occupants were taken into custody. The 39-year-old woman was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, No Insurance, No Driver’s License, and No Valid Registration. The 63-year-old man was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance. The 68-year-old man was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of Meth, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
