Police found heroin, fentanyl and cocaine in the vehicle of a 42-year-old Bridgeport woman during a DUI arrest last week.
At about 9:14 p.m., an officer conducting selective enforcement at New Norwalk and Shaker Roads saw a car drift over the white shoulder line, according to a police report.
A second vehicle stopped to tell police that they’d been driving behind the car in question and “it was operating erratically,” the report said.
During a subsequent stop, the officer noticed that the woman’s speech was delayed, and administered standard field sobriety tests, it said. While that was happening, the officer saw that the pupils of her eyes were constricted and saw “a white powdery substance” under her nostril, “consistent with cocaine usage.”
Police brought in the K-9 unit and during an exterior vehicle sniff/search, the dog detected a hit “and narcotics were found,” the report said.
Police tested the narcotics and found heroin, fentanyl and cocaine.
The woman was charged with possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence, use of drug paraphernalia, operating with a handheld electronic device and failure to drive in the proper lane.
She was released after promising to appear the following day, May 8, in state Superior Court. She hasn’t yet pleaded, Connecticut Judicial Branch records show, and now is scheduled for arraignment May 15.
