She was taken into custody. While being taken into custody police found on her person a pink backpack that contained 13 glassine baggies of suspected heroin, eight syringes, a packet of rubber bands, a pink and yellow “vape” container with cotton swab heads inside and a red and green container of methamphetamine.
