Two women were jailed on controlled substance charges, one for possession and the other for violating probation on a controlled substance charge, according to arrest reports.
Industrial Drive Traffic Stop
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Elijah Fite initiated a traffic stop on a black Ford Mustang at 3:05 a.m. March 11 in the 100 block of West Industrial Drive. Fite alleged the driver, identified in arrest reports as Paula Maria Lucero, failed to give straight forward answers and seemed nervous when he spoke to her.
A search of a fabric bag insider her purse in the car revealed a glass vial containing a crystal-like substance and a bag containing a green, leafy substance he suspected was marijuana, Fite alleged in arrest reports.
The 49-year-old Stockton, California woman was taken into custody at 3:16 a.m. Thursday. Deputy Nick Marney arrived at the scene to complete an inventory of the car prior to it being impounded. Fite transported Lucero to jail.
While processing the evidence, Fite alleged in arrest reports, the crystal-like substance tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 1.65 grams, resulting in Lucero being booked into Hopkins County jail just before 5 a.m. March 11, 2021, for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.
Lucero remained in Hopkins County jail on the felony controlled substance charge late Thursday morning, according to jail reports.

She was held in Hopkins County jail Thursday morning, March 11, 2021 on the charge, according to jail reports.
