CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – An improper registration resulted in a drug arrest near the Washington Irving Middle School on Wednesday.
Officers from the Bridgeport Police Department conducted the stop in front of the school, made contact with the driver, and immediately placed him into custody because of an outstanding warrant. After learning the passenger, Anna Lafferty, 32, of Clarksburg, did not have a valid driver’s license, a police canine alerted to the presence of narcotics.
During a search, police discovered Lafferty was carrying a.25-caliber pistol with five rounds of ammunition and had scales, bags with white residue, plastic containers with a white crystal substance, and a notebook that appeared to be a drug ledger.
Lafferty has been jailed in the North Central Regional Jail for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. She is being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond.
