Traffic stop in Incline leads to drug arrest
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — An Oregon woman was arrested on drug charges after a traffic stop Friday in Incline Village.
Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies initiated a traffic stop at about 8 p.m. After stopping the vehicle for traffic violations, deputies discovered items in the vehicle which led them to believe there may be illegal drugs within.
A search resulted in the discovery of 85 grams of cocaine and other evidence consistent with packaging and distribution, the WCSO said in a news release.
Tanis Hershkowitz, 46, was booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on traffic and drug charges including possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance to sell. Hershkowitz remains in custody as of Sunday morning.
