Police: Woman entered car illegally

COEUR d’ALENE — A woman who was released earlier this month on a felony drug charge is back in jail after police said she climbed into an idling car uninvited.

Spokane Valley resident Glorianne M. Mitchell, 19, is charged with unlawful entry, a misdemeanor.

Police responded last week to a parking lot in Coeur d’Alene where a driver said she’d just gotten into her car when a woman, identified as Mitchell, knocked on the passenger side window. Mitchell allegedly asked for a ride.

When the driver asked where Mitchell needed to go, Mitchell allegedly opened the passenger door and got inside the car.

The driver said Mitchell then slumped over in her seat, according to court documents. The driver reportedly got out of the car and called 911.

Police said Mitchell was still in the passenger seat when they arrived at the scene. They said she was incoherent and her mental status appeared altered, according to court documents. She allegedly told police she was Abraham Lincoln’s daughter.

Police arrested Mitchell at the scene.

Mitchell was arrested in Post Falls last month and charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony, after a traffic stop. Police allegedly found a purse belonging to Mitchell that contained a glass pipe and tinfoil with a substance on it that Mitchell told police was probably meth, according to court documents.

Two other people were arrested after the traffic stop — 31-year-old Montana resident Raymond M. Adams and 37-year-old Scott F. Newton.

Adams is charged with possession of a controlled substance and with trafficking heroin, both felonies. A judge ordered that he be held on $50,000 bail.

Newton is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and grand theft by possession of stolen property, both felonies. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

Judge Anna Eckhart initially ordered that Mitchell be held on $10,000 bail on the possession charge.

Judge Ross Pittman ordered Nov. 6 that Mitchell be released on her own recognizance, with the requirement that she undergo drug testing and commit no new criminal offenses.

Last week Judge John Mitchell ordered that Mitchell be held on $300 bail on the unlawful possession charge.
