COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKBN) – A woman from Florida is facing charges after troopers say they found over $1 million in cocaine in her car.
Troopers stopped 32-year-old LaTonya-Katryna Hamilton at about 3:21 p.m. September 19 on Interstate 75 in Wood County for a turn signal violation.
A drug-sniffing dog was called to help search the cargo van she was driving, which also had a Texas license plate, and found over 33 pounds of cocaine worth just over $1 million, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Hamilton was booked into the Wood County Jail on charges of possession and trafficking in drugs, both first-degree felonies.
