KENTUCKY — A 70-year-old woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly driving in the wrong lane and being found in possession of a controlled substance, according to the Glasgow Police Department.
Major Terry Flatt, the department’s public information officer, said an officer responded to a report of a vehicle traveling in the opposite lane of traffic.
The vehicle was later located at the Dollar General Store on Burkesville Road.
The driver, identified as Earline Ostertag of Glasgow, was given a field sobriety test, which she reportedly failed.
Officers then searched the vehicle and found a metal container with suspected Oxycodone.
Ostertag was taken into custody and transported to the Barren County Detention Center.
She is charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance (2nd offense) and possession of a controlled substance in the first degree (1st offense, drug unspecified).
Ostertag was released later the same day.
