A Sturgis woman is facing DUI and multiple drug possession charges after a traffic stop in Providence Friday night.
Providence Police Officer Eric Elder reports 52-year old Lonna Deshaunt Baker was arrested for DUI around 11:45 p.m. after he observed her traveling 38 mph on the bypass weaving across the center line and across the white fog line.
Officer Elder says when he advised Baker that bringing contraband into the jail was a felony, she told him she was concealing a meth pipe with meth residue, as well as some pills that were controlled substances in her bra. After arriving at the jail, Officer Elder notified a female deputy and the items were retrieved.
Baker was booked into the Webster County Jail charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance with an aggravator attached to the charge, first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine, second-degree possession of a controlled substance – Amphetamine, prescription of a controlled substance not in proper container, and possession of a controlled substance – unspecified.
