Andrea Reid, 41, of Bellefontaine, was charged with possession of drugs, tampering with evidence, illegal conveyance and possession of drug abuse instruments during a traffic stop Friday evening, Feb. 2.
Officers of the Washington Township Police Department on patrol on State Route 366 near the Family Dollar about 6:30 p.m. and observed a vehicle occupied by Reid and Nathaniel Clem.
Having prior knowledge of Clem being on probation, his probation officer requested officers make contact with him due to suspicious behavior at the business.
Upon making contact, both occupants were overly nervous, officers said. K9 Tega was called to the scene and alerted on the vehicle. A probable cause search was conducted on the vehicle and hypodermic needles were recovered that Reid stated belonged to her.
Reid was taken into custody and transported to the Logan County Jail. Clem was released from the scene.
Once at the jail, corrections officers located fentanyl on Reid’s person.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
