A Pittsburgh woman is facing felony drug charges after being found in possession of 2,000 bags of heroin during a traffic stop in Mount Pleasant, PA., on Friday.
Troopers stopped Candice A. Alexander, 28, on the Pennsylvania Turnpike after she swerved on the highway and caused a truck driver to slam on his brakes. After Alexander consented to a search of her vehicle, police discovered 2,000 bricks of heroin in a hidden compartment underneath her back seat. That amount has a street value of $1 million, according to local news outlet TribLive.
Alexander is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison on charges of possession with intent to deliver and drug possession. Her bail has been set at $100,000.
