The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office reports a Burlington woman has been arrested on multiple drug charges following a traffic stop Monday night.
According to Sheriff Kevin Glendening, deputies stopped a vehicle around 9:17 p.m. on February 16th at Osborn Street and Linden Street for an equipment violation.
During the stop, a deputy K-9 conducted an open-air sniff of the vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotics.
A search of the vehicle reportedly uncovered marijuana, methamphetamine, clonazepam pills, and drug paraphernalia in the area where the front seat passenger had been sitting.
Authorities identified the passenger as Addison Ann Trickler, 26, of Burlington. She was taken into custody and charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance, failure to affix a drug tax stamp, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Trickler was transported to the Des Moines County Correctional Center.
A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
