CARTERET COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) – Three people from Carteret County are in jail on hefty bonds after a traffic stop last week in Williston.
Deputies say during the stop for several traffic violations, Wendy Cahoon was seen trying to get rid of a bag of suspected drugs.
Inside the bag, deputies believe they found fentanyl, and during a search of the vehicle they also discovered oxycodone pills, and drug paraphernalia. The woman was charged with possession of drugs while the other two people in the vehicle were released.
While on the way to the jail, deputies say they learned Cahoon had drugs hidden inside her body. At the jail, the woman was put through a body scanner that showed the location of five more bags of suspected fentanyl.
Deputies say their investigation determined that the drugs belonged to all three people in the vehicle.
Anson Gillikin and Haley Cahoon were then arrested at a home in Smyrna.
Wendy Cahoon has a $500,000 secured bond.
