Paducah Police officers were called to the Walmart on Irvin Cobb Drive after a report of a suspicious green car that had been circling the parking lot. Officers located the car and attempted to stop it. The driver reportedly refused to stop, and a computer check reportedly showed that the car had been reported stolen on March 29.
Officers say the car was involved in a minor collision as they attempted to pull the driver over. Officers were able to perform a traffic stop a short time later, and everyone inside was detained.
After searching the vehicle, officers reportedly found a glass pipe with suspected methamphetamine residue in it, as well as a bottle that contained 26 suspected Xanax pills.
The driver, 36-year-old Star Foster, was then arrested. She is being charged with first-degree fleeing or evading, receiving stolen property, first-degree possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and illegal possession of a legend drug. She was lodged in the McCracken County Jail.
A passenger in the vehicle, Ha Kim Bowles, was reportedly in possession of three Xanax bars. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries and cited on a charge of illegal possession of a legend drug.
