Traffic Stop Results In Arrest For Marijuana

On Thursday around 9:40am, a Grant County Deputy was parked in a field drive along County Highway T in Hickory Grove Township, when an east bound vehicle on County Highway T, pulled to the shoulder and stopped. The driver of the vehicle, 53 year old Roxanne Abraham of Dodgeville, stopped to look at her phone for directions to a residence in the area. When Abraham continued driving, she didn’t see the east bound vehicle coming up behind her. Abraham made a U turn on County Highway T and almost struck the east bound vehicle passing her. A traffic stop was conducted and while the deputy was speaking with Abraham, the deputy detected the odor of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment of Abraham’s vehicle. As a result, Abraham was arrested for Operating after Revocation, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and cited for no insurance. The matter will be referred to the Grant County District Attorney’s Office.
