Woman charged with possession

Tamaqua Police assisted Constable David Kneller on June 11 as he served warrants on Karen Rimsky, 30, at 242 Mauch Chunk St., Tamaqua.

On top of a dresser was a bag filled with leafy green vegetable matter. Inside an open dresser drawer was a shoe box size box containing another bag of suspected marijuana and $900 in cash. The contents of the bags field tested positive for marijuana with an estimated street value of $320.

Rimsky will be charged with possession of marijuana.
