(SALEM) - A construction zone speed-related traffic stop early Friday morning on Interstate 5 in Salem led to the arrest of a 19-year old Roseburg woman on numerous drug charges.
OSP's "Reggie"The arrest came after an Oregon State Police trooper and his trained drug dog "Reggie" located several different types of illegal drugs and cash in the car.
Friday morning at approximately 1:15 AM, Oregon State Police Senior Trooper Joseph Delgreco stopped a northbound 2003 Volkswagon Jetta on Interstate 5 near milepost 256, for traveling 78 mph in a 50 mph work zone area.
At the conclusion of the stop the driver, 19-year old Brinton Cook of Roseburg, consented to a search of her vehicle.
While looking in the car's trunk, "Reggie" alerted to a safe. Upon opening the safe, Senior Trooper Delgreco says he discovered the following:
* approximately 13 ounces of Marijuana
* approximately 6 ounces of Psilocybin mushrooms
* 112 tablets of Ecstasy
* 30 hits of LSD blotter paper
* a bottle of liquid LSD
* small amounts of Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and Hash oil

In addition, over $3,200 cash was seized.
Cook was taken into custody and transported to Marion County Jail where she was lodged on numerous drug related charges involving Unlawful Possession, Distribution and Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance for a total of 14 total counts.
Many believe that youngsters caught using drugs need teen drug abuse treatment, not lengthy jail sentences. The courts may not agree.
