A Kansas City woman traveling through Cooper County is apprehended after a state trooper finds over two ounces of methamphetamine during a traffic stop.
On Monday afternoon, the patrolman was executing normal stationary traffic enforcement on I-70 just west of Boonville when he noticed a driver with an expired temporary tag. He stopped the car driven by Dawn Levi, 37, and discovered she was on probation for possessing a stolen vehicle and a controlled substance. According to the trooper, Levi was apprehensive, admitted to previous drug use, and provided contradicting information about her travel intentions.
