LADY LAKE, Fla. — The Lake Police Department arrested a woman on March 23 after a traffic stop led to the discovery of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other illegal narcotics.
LPD officers initiated the stop near the intersection of U.S. Highway 27/441 and West Boone Court after observing that the driver, identified as Samantha Elder, and the passenger were not wearing seat belts.
A subsequent search of the black SUV by a K-9 officer uncovered multiple controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, and documents linking the evidence to the driver.
Elder was taken into custody and faces charges of trafficking fentanyl, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
