Portage Police arrested a Hobart woman Thursday on felony drug charges after they found more than 10 grams of marijuana in her car during a traffic stop, according to a report.
Nicole Maggio, 42, told police she worked at a marijuana dispensary in Michigan and was on her way home from a Christmas party when police stopped her at 12:14 a.m. on Dec. 26 at Willowcreek Road and Lute Avenue. Maggio, driving a white Tesla, disregarded a traffic signal, according to police.
Police allegedly smelled raw marijuana during the traffic stop and Maggio admitted she had some in her car, according to the report. A K9 officer arrived at the scene to assist with the investigation, during which police found 10 grams of raw marijuana; three containers of THC wax or resin; 10 containers of THC edibles; two glass pipes with burnt residue; and a grinder.
Maggio faces two Level 6 felony charges, for dealing in marijuana and possession of marijuana, and a misdemeanor count of possession of paraphernalia.
