A woman didn’t like the idea of going to jail for driving under the influence of marijuana during an incident in the parking lot of Lime Branch Baptist Church on Tuesday, and she faces additional charges for resisting attempts to be cuffed and the drugs found in her vehicle according to Polk County Police reports.
Police arrested Heather Nicole Wills, 40, of a Cedartown address early Tuesday morning after officers stopped in the parking lot of Lime Branch Baptist Church where she was parked in a 2017 Chevy Equinox and claimed to be taking pictures of an SUV that “looked like her friends.”
When police encountered Wills, they initially reported the odor of marijuana coming from her – and later the car. They asked her for her information which she supplied, and then ran her through a field sobriety test after they confronted her about the smell and she admitted to having smoked a couple of hours before with her boyfriend.
Per the report, she failed those tests and officers informed her she was going to jail. Wills however decided to attempt to pull away from officers during the incident and found herself being taken to the ground when a second officer attempted to take her right hand and she resisted further.
After putting her in two pairs of handcuffs and placing her in the back of a patrol vehicle, the two officers searched her vehicle and found the marijuana they were looking for within and discovered three bags of the drug, a glass pipe, “several partially smoked marijuana cigarettes” and another glass pipe that field tested positive for methamphetamine.
She was taken onto the Polk County Jail without further incident and her vehicle towed from the church parking lot.
Wills faces multiple charges, but none thus far for the drug possession. A bond was set for $4,500 for misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence of drugs, two counts of obstruction of law enforcement officers and a count of loitering or prowling.
She remained in the Polk County Jail on the bond as of this posting.
