An impaired Leitchfield woman has been arrested following a minor wreck and after detention center staff members found a baggie of methamphetamine hidden on her person.
Wednesday morning at approximately 4:00, Leitchfield Police Department Sgt. Keith Harrell and Officer DJ Newton were dispatched to a non-injury accident in the 400 block of West Main Street and found a Toyota passenger car in a ditch.
The driver, 31-year-old Amber Hill-Hensley, according to police, was behaving frenetically, as she appeared to be unable to stand still. She was given a field sobriety test and arrested.
Once the suspect arrived at the Grayson County Detention Center (GCDC), she was thoroughly searched by GCDC deputies who located a baggie of methamphetamine hidden on Hill-Hensley’s person.
She was charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), promoting contraband, DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, and failure to maintain insurance.
