A St. Joseph woman could be facing felony drug charges after heroin, methamphetamine and more were found in her possession during a traffic stop.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, on Thursday, Deputy Nicholas Leadbetter stopped a vehicle for going 20 mph over the speed limit.
The driver was cited for speeding and one of the passengers was having problems identifying herself to the officers. Further investigation showed she was allegedly in possession of heroin, methamphetamine, THC oil and drug paraphernalia.
The woman, claiming to be a certain person from St. Joseph, was processed and booked into jail under the name and personal identifiers she was giving the officers and detention staff. While at the jail, there was a problem and the woman admitted to her real identity. She is wanted in Buchanan County on an arrest warrant.
According to the LCSO, 21-year-old Shyann M. Barron of St. Joseph may soon face a variety of alleged felony drug charges in Livingston County, in addition to alleged felony forgery/identity theft. It is suspected Barron was actually using a close family member’s name and identifiers.
Barron is being released to Buchanan County pending formal charges being filed in Livingston County.
