Granville Woman Arrested on Drug Charges

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Jackson County woman for tampering with evidence after she swallowed a pill during a traffic stop Monday.

Tracy Michelle Fields Rodgers, 46 of Granville, also faces simple possession, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia charges.

According to arrest warrants, deputies found one-and-a-half hydrocodone pills, along with a baggie with a small amount of a crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine.

During the consensual search, Rodgers took a plastic bag from under her arm and swallowed the contents. Authorities determined Rodgers had swallowed a single hydrocodone pill.

Two one-hitter marijuana pipes were found by authorities as well during the search of the vehicle.

Rodgers was booked into the Putnam County jail on $5,500 bond and has since been released. Her initial court date is Oct. 15.
