A woman in Windsor was arrested on suspicion of dealing fentanyl, police said Thursday.
On Wednesday at about 4 a.m., officers in Windsor stopped a car for code violations on U.S. Highway 101 by the Airport Boulevard off-ramp.
Behind the wheel was Windsor resident Kaitlyn Lemos, 34. Police allege that when asked to exit her vehicle, Lemos attempted to conceal a glass tube commonly used to inhale narcotics between the seat and the center console.
According to police, Lemos told them that there was drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.
A Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office K9 deputy responded and conducted a narcotics sweep of the vehicle. The K9 alerted to the alleged presence of narcotics, and deputies searched the vehicle.
Inside, deputies allegedly found several containers holding a total of more than 18 grams of suspected fentanyl and approximately 5 grams of suspected methamphetamine. They also allegedly recovered glass pipes used to smoke meth, small clear plastic bags, and a digital scale, all items consistent with the packaging and sale of narcotics.
Lemos was booked into county jail on suspicion of being in possession of a controlled substance for sale, transporting a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with two or more prior convictions and being in possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
