A Bellefontaine woman is facing charges after an early Thursday morning traffic stop led to a drug-related arrest, according to a report from the Bellefontaine Police Department.
Just before 4:00 AM, officers on patrol near North Detroit Street and West Sandusky Avenue spotted a Chevy sedan driving without a working license plate light.
The vehicle was stopped a short time later on Pratt Street.
The driver, identified as Ashley Shepherd, 41, of Bellefontaine, admitted she did not have a valid driver’s license.
Law enforcement also recognized her from a previous citation for the same offense and confirmed she had recently been cited again for driving without a license.
Shepherd was taken into custody, and while being detained, she admitted to having a pipe in her bra and confirmed it was used for smoking crack cocaine.
She was transported to the Logan County Jail and charged with driving without a license and possession of drug paraphernalia.
