Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle conducted the stop on a 2008 Nissan Rogue for failing to come to a complete stop at the junction of Green River Valley Road and Linnie Rheber Road. The driver was Rachel Woodrum, and the passenger was Michelle Carman.

A K9 unit alerted officers to the passenger front door. During the vehicle search, officers found a baggie of crystal meth, a baggie of marijuana, rolling papers, and a marijuana crusher in Michelle Carman’s purse. Carman admitted the marijuana, crusher, and rolling papers were hers but claimed the meth belonged to a family member. However, she acknowledged possessing the meth and stated she had used it a few days prior.

Michelle M. Carman, 57, of Liberty, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine (1st degree, 2nd offense), possession of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Sheriff Weddle was assisted by Deputy Adams, Deputy Grider, and K9 unit Ronnie.
