A woman was arrested Monday morning after Jackson police found suspected drugs and drug paraphernalia in her vehicle while she was unconscious in the driver’s seat outside a Wawa.

At approximately 9:51 a.m., officers McIvor, Schmidt, and Mabey responded to the Wawa on North County Line Road for a report of an unconscious female in a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers found the woman asleep in the driver’s seat with what appeared to be a crack pipe visible inside a bag.
