(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is facing drug-related charges, including possession of fentanyl, following a weekend traffic stop in the 600 block of Atchison's North 9th Street.

That's according to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson who, in a release, says 44-year-old Melody McCannon was driving in that area, around 9:15 Saturday night, when stopped by an officer on patrol for traffic violations.

However, following the stop, McCannon was found to be in the alleged possession of a controlled substance, believed to be fentanyl, as well as drug paraphernalia. Following the investigation at the scene, she was arrested for no license tag, no driver's license, no insurance, and possession of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia.

Once in custody, McCannon was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

Her bond is set at $10,000.
