LESS THAN A GRAM
Gallup, Dec. 1
A woman was caught with less than a gram of meth on her during a traffic stop.
On Dec. 1, around 12:45 pm, McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Salazar stopped a vehicle on U.S. Highway 491, and when he did so he found two people in the truck, along with some drug paraphernalia. Salazar met the man driving the truck and the woman riding shotgun, who was identified as Syrita Jim.
Salazar found meth and some syringes when Jim, 23, allowed him to search through her backpack. Less than a gram of meth was found in the backpack, but Jim was still charged with possession of a controlled substance. Her preliminary examination is scheduled for Jan. 4.
