Drugs found during traffic stop

A Chicago woman remains in custody on a $5,000 cash bond after a traffic stop.

Katie L. Gay, 28, Chicago, is charged in Waupaca County with possession of narcotics with intent to deliver, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, Wisconsin State Trooper Sarah Burdick stopped a vehicle on U.S. Highway 10 near Waupaca because her radar showed it traveling at 75 mph.

According to the criminal complaint, Burdick noticed the passenger, identified as Gay, was moving around as she approached the vehicle.

Burdick requested that Waupaca County Deputy James Santiago bring his K9 unit to the scene.

The dog alerted to the presence of drugs.

Officers reported finding two pills – oxycodone and hydrocodone – lodged between the rear seats, as well as a small amount of cocaine.

Gay had an Illinois driver’s license, a Mexican ID card, a debit card and a money transfer card.

The cards all had different names on them, the complaint says.

A further search uncovered 87 hydrocodone pills and 106 oxycodone pills.

Gay had more drugs when officers searched her at the jail, the complaint says.
