Woman arrested for meth possession
On Oct. 21, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit conducted a traffic stop on a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country on Highway 61 in the township of Scott. The driver was identified as Cynthia Herlitz, 52, Boscobel.
During the course of the traffic stop, K-9 Breck was utilized for an open free air sniff of the vehicle and gave a positive alert to the presence of one or more controlled substances within the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded a crystal like substance, which later field-tested positive for methamphetamine.
Herlitz was asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests. Herlitz was ultimately arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and operating with a restricted controlled substance (first offense).
Assisting the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department was Crossing Rivers Hospital.
