Hartford Police officers conducted a traffic stop, where the passenger provided a false identity using a known alias. Once her identity was confirmed, officers discovered she had multiple felony warrants related to drug offenses.

Hartford Police Department's K-9 Flash conducted a free-air sniff of the vehicle and provided a positive alert. As a result of the probable cause search, the passenger was arrested on the following charges:

• Possession of Methamphetamine (2nd and Subsequent Offense)

• Possession of Marijuana (2nd and Subsequent Offense)

• Possession of Methamphetamine Paraphernalia

• Obstructing an Officer

• Three counts of Felony Bail Jumping

 

20 minutes later, another Hartford officer initiated a traffic stop after the driver attempted to evade police presence. Once again, K-9 Flash provided a positive alert on the vehicle. The driver was arrested for:

• Possession of Fentanyl (2nd and Subsequent Offense)

• Possession of Marijuana (2nd and Subsequent Offense)

• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

 

A total of eight felonies and two misdemeanors resulted from these two traffic stops, according to the Hartford Police Department.
