On Sunday, August 18, at approximately 6:00 PM a Marshall County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Deputy responded to the report of a possibly impaired driver near Olive Trail and 13th Road. The deputy located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop at Olive Trail and 14B Road. The driver was identified as 42-year-old Mary Balboa of Nursery Street in Plymouth.
During the traffic stop, K-9 Diesel conducted an open-air sniff around the vehicle and alerted to the presence of narcotic odors emitting from the vehicle. A search was conducted and suspected crack cocaine, synthetic drugs, and drug paraphernalia were located inside the vehicle.
