Woman driving with 3-year-old
faces charges after stop leads to meth discovery
A Lenoir City woman is facing
multiple charges after a hanging license plate border led law
enforcement personnel to a vehicle inspection and the discovery
of meth.
On Thursday afternoon, March 14,
Deputy Ronnie Willis along with Deputy McCall — both with the
Loudon County Sheriff’s Office — reportedly observed a red
Nissan Altima traveling southbound on Town Creek Parkway.
The
two law enforcement deputies noticed that the license plate
border had fallen off on one side and was obstructing the
view of the license plate.
With the deputies now in
pursuit of the vehicle, the Nissan took an immediate right
on Cotton Mill Boulevard. According to the deputies’ report,
it was during this time that the driver began to reach over
to the passenger side of the vehicle being pursued.
Willis then initiated a
traffic stop at the intersection of Cotton Mill and the
ADESA Parkway. Deputy McCall made contact with the
driver, who was identified as 38-year-old Kara Weeks of
Lenoir City — and who also had a 3-year-old child in the
rear passenger seat.
During the investigation,
Weeks couldn’t provide registration paperwork or proof
of insurance. Deputy McCall asked Weeks to exit the
vehicle and step back to the patrol vehicle.
While speaking with
Weeks, the deputy asked for consent to search the
vehicle — which the suspect gave.
During the search, Deputy
McCall located a cigarette pack in a purse that was
located in the front passenger seat. Weeks reportedly
said that the purse was her own.
Inside the cigarette
pack, the deputies located what appeared to be four
clear baggies with a crystal-like substance inside
believed to be methamphetamine and weighing around 18.4
grams.
Narcotics investigators
were called to the scene for further investigation. And
during this time, Weeks pulled another small baggie from
her bra weighing 0.87 grams “field weight” for a total
of 19.27 grams.
The substance was tested
by narcotics investigators and it did test positive for
methamphetamine. The deputies’ report stated that the
narcotics were within close proximity — and accessible —
to the child.
Weeks was charged with
child abuse or neglect/endangerment; display of
registration plate; driving while in possession of
methamphetamine; and the manufacture, delivery, sale or
possession of methamphetamines.
Weeks was held without bond, according to the
report.
