Police: La Crescenta traffic stop yields bags of drugs, 2 arrests
Two bags of methamphetamine, wire cutters and a ski mask were just some of the items reportedly recovered by the Glendale Police Department during a traffic stop early Wednesday.
Officers with the department conducted a traffic stop of a white Toyota Corolla near Cloud Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in La Crescenta around 2:45 a.m. According to Tahnee Lightfoot, a spokeswoman for the department, officers discovered the man behind the wheel was a parolee and was driving without a license.
During a search of the vehicle, officers found bags of narcotics, a scale, cash and two sets of gloves in addition to the ski mask and wire cutters, Lightfoot said.
The driver, 42-year-old Erin Sutton of La Crescenta, was taken into custody. Lightfoot said a passenger, 39-year-old Jennifer Lewis of Tujunga, was on probation for fraud and also taken into custody by Glendale police.
The two were booked on narcotics charges.
