PHELPS COUNTY, Mo. – Authorities seized nearly 200 suspected fentanyl capsules after a Missouri woman’s traffic stop took an unexpected turn earlier this week.
Prosecutors have charged Shiniqua Ginell Glover, 33, of Rolla, with one felony count of first-degree drug trafficking in the investigation.
According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX 2, an officer pulled over Glover on Tuesday, knowing she had an outstanding warrant in Phelps County for a separate drug trafficking charge.
After her arrest, Glover was then informed her she would be escorted through a body scanner at the Phelps County Jail to check if she had anything illegal in her possession. At that time, she confessed to stashing around 100 fentanyl capsules in her pants.
Then, Glover was escorted to the back of a police vehicle to hand over the fentanyl capsules. Upon inspection, authorities counted nearly 200 capsules, nearly double that amount, of yellow and silver capsules containing a white powder substance, suspected as fentanyl.
Glover has since been booked into the Phelps County Jail on a $250,000 bond, per Missouri court records.
