A 33-year-old Carrollton woman is facing a felony charge for allegedly being in possession of drug-related items after a traffic stop by authorities on May 2.
A probable-cause statement says authorities found a box containing a substance believed to be methamphetamine, four used hypodermic needles and cotton swabs containing a substance believed to be methamphetamine and several other hypodermic needles.
