Wednesday, a typical traffic stop would lead to one Elizabethton resident getting charged on multiple drug offenses.

While patrolling Cedar Grove Road, Carter County Sheriff’s Deputy Christian Carrier noticed a blue sedan with a malfunctioning passenger taillight. Carrier pulled the sedan over and learned that the driver, Jamie Parlier, allegedly did not have a valid driver’s license and that her license was revoked. Parlier was accompanied by a passenger. Carrier then proceeded to arrest Parlier for driving on a revoked license.

While Parlier was being arrested, Misty Garland, 42, of East Cottage Avenue in Elizabethton, was driving by in a yellow 2002 Chevrolet Cobalt. As Garland was passing the scene Parlier yelled out for Garland. Parlier wanted Garland to pull over so she could give Parlier’s passenger a ride home.

Patrol Officer William Staschak, who was assisting Carrier, asked Garland if she had a driver’s license. Garland allegedly told Staschak that she didn’t have a driver’s license, and according to the arrest report prepared by Staschak, Staschak then put Garland under arrest for driving on a suspended license for the second time.

While making the arrest, Staschak searched Garland’s purse where he found “a semi-burnt handmade cigarette made of marijuana and a green flashlight which contained 3/4 of an orange pill with ‘AN’ on it which appeared to be Suboxine, a cut down straw commonly utilized with narcotics, and a small clear baggie consistent with storing narcotics.”

Garland’s vehicle was also searched before being towed. According to the report, officers found drug paraphernalia including glass smoking bowls and cut down straws that are typically used to ingest narcotics. Officers also found a Tupperware container which contained “a white crystalline substance with the appearance of methamphetamine.” Also in the vehicle was a black and red zipper pouch that had a baggie containing a crystal-like substance that looked like meth. The baggie had an estimated weight of an ounce.

Garland was charged with driving on a suspended and revoked license, possession of a Schedule II narcotic, possession of a Schedule III narcotic and drug paraphernalia.
