A Houston area traffic stop takes a turn as officers find a cache of drugs in a woman's vehicle, leading to her arrest. Deputies from Constable Mark Herman's Office stopped Michelle Underwood on the 18000 block of the North Freeway. An investigation ensued, revealing the presence of a significant quantity of illegal substances.

Underwood, upon being pulled over on Friday, had her car searched, in which authorities uncovered 5.4 grams of Crystal Methamphetamine and 11 grams of Heroin. The officers didn't stop there; they also discovered 4.8 grams of prescription medication. The combination of items found in her car raised the stakes, resulting in her immediate arrest.

Following the find, "Michelle Underwood was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Possession of Controlled Substance," stated Constable Mark Herman. The legal fallout began with her bond set at $7,500.00, confirmed by the 248th District Court.

Details regarding Underwood's legal representation or any statements from the accused were not immediately available. The official Precinct 4 Facebook page reported the arrest the following day, providing a terse account of the night's events. The community has been put on alert, reminders of the continued vigilance required by law enforcement in the face of a persistent drug problem.
