During the traffic stop, police said a small amount of marijuana along with 36 grams of THC gummies were located in a backpack inside her vehicle. The products were in commercial packaging that contained the name of a dispensary outside New Buffalo.
According to police, the woman’s license was suspended for failure to pay past speeding tickets. She could face up to six months in jail and a maximum $1,000 fine on the Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge. The Class A misdemeanor driving on a suspended license charge could bring a maximum one year jail sentence and an up to $5,000 fine.
