A traffic stop in the village of Bath resulted in the arrest of a Dansville woman.
Bath Police officers were on normal patrol when they observed a sedan travelling on Liberty Street with insufficient tail lamps. During the stop, officers observed behaviors that led to a consent search of the vehicle, where a quantity of drugs was discovered along with a lock box. A K9 officer was brought to the scene, where he alerted to the presence of drugs inside the car. The driver, 46-year-old Desiree Stratton, consented to opening the box where more drugs were discovered.
Stratton was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
