The officer located a small part of a plastic baggie, with suspected crack cocaine in it, on the floor of the vehicle, Aro said. Police brought the woman to the station and questioned her about the suspected crack cocaine in her car, learning she was on parole out of Northern Michigan for cocaine possession, the report said.
Fenton police held the woman overnight in the lockup, releasing her in the morning pending testing of the substance believed to be crack cocaine, Aro said. A warrant could be authorized, he added, and the woman’s parole officer was contacted and advised of the situation.
