Morgantown Woman Arrested on Meth Dealing Charge
A Morgantown, Indiana woman is in custody on several preliminary charges including Dealing Methamphetamine after she failed to stop a Columbus intersection on Thursday afternoon. Sgt. Ben Goodin observed the violation at Middle Road and Poshard Drive shortly after 2:00 p.m. and stopped the vehicle. Goodin spoke to the driver who appeared visibly nervous and did not make eye contact with him. The driver provided Sgt. Goodin with a driver license which the officer determined a short time later belonged to another person. The driver then falsely identified herself a second time. Officers determined a short time later that the driver of the vehicle was Samantha K. Gay, a 37 year old Morgantown resident. Gay was taken into custody and advised officers that there were narcotics inside the vehicle. Officers searched Gay’s purse and allegedly located seven bags of methamphetamine. The officers also located marijuana, pipes with drug residue, two digital scales, 70 syringes as well as additional drug paraphernalia inside the vehicle.
