Deputies confiscate marijuana and heroin in I-90 traffic stop
A traffic stop Friday on Interstate 90 between Wolf Lodge and Fourth of July Pass netted more than 22 pounds of marijuana and heroin.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office reported that its dispatch received a call at 3:30 a.m. of a possibly intoxicated driver traveling eastbound near milepost 14 in Coeur d’Alene. The caller told dispatch that the vehicle was “all over the road.”
A sheriff’s deputy found the vehicle traveling eastbound near milepost 24 and stopped it for failing to maintain its lane of travel. The deputy detected the scent of marijuana coming from the vehicle being driven by a woman with a male passenger.
Deputies located more than 22 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle and later found the woman had several grams of heroin hidden on her person.
The woman, Domonique R. Adams-Swanson, 39, of Seattle, was arrested for driving while suspended, trafficking in marijuana, trafficking in heroin and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
The man, Sylvester G. Byrd, 63, of Tukwila, Washington, was arrested for trafficking in marijuana and for trafficking in heroin.
A photo of Adams-Swanson is not yet available, according to the sheriff's department.
