Oneida-based state police charged a Syracuse woman with misdemeanor drug charges following a traffic stop in Canastota Tuesday night.
At approximately 10:55 p.m. April 12, Trooper Joseph LeWorthy stopped a 2013 Mercedes Benz on North Peterboro Street in Canastota for a traffic violation. While speaking with the driver, Amanda E. Vadala, 32, the trooper observed a hypodermic needle and a small plastic baggie containing a white powdery substance on the front passenger seat.
A vehicle search uncovered more drug paraphernalia, in addition to a quantity of heroin and cocaine.
Vadala was taken into custody and processed at the Oneida state police barracks for two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and traffic charges.
Vadala was issued an appearance ticket to appear in Canastota Village Court April 21.
