POST FALLS, Idaho — Police in the north Idaho community of Post Falls say they arrested a woman who tried to hide heroin under a half-eaten cheeseburger in the center console of her car.
KREM-TV of Spokane reported that police contacted the woman Monday night after someone reported a woman doing drugs in a parked car in a store parking lot.
Police say the woman grew ever more nervous, glancing at her car, as other officers and a K-9 showed up. The K-9 handler who began searching the car found food, garbage, alcohol, marijuana and something else — the half-eaten burger. Police say the K-9 officer removed the burger to make sure his detection dog did not try to eat it. The heroin container was found beneath where the burger had been.
Authorities say Jennifer Hollowell, 32, was arrested. KREM reports she appeared in court Tuesday. She’s been charged with felony and misdemeanor drug violations.
