State Road 7 after dispatchers received a call about a possible overdose. Apparently, a passer-by noticed an unconscious  woman sitting inside of a vehicle. While Deputy Clark was on his way to the gas station, dispatchers learned that the female woke-up and drove away.

The deputy eventually found the woman’s vehicle heading south on U.S. 31 and made a traffic stop. The driver was identified as 20-year-old Daniella Darlene Williams. Jackson says that Columbus Police Officer Branch Schrader arrived with his K9, Argo, who walked around the vehicle and was alerted to the odor of drugs. Authorities say that a spoon, syringe and a brown crystal substance were found on Williams. Jackson says that all of the items tested positive for heroin.

Prior to being booked in the county jail, Jackson says that Williams was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital to be checked out. Authorities say that she was cleared and remains behind bars on $20,000 bond. Williams is facing a preliminary charge of Operating under the Influence. Jackson says that additional charges of Operating While Intoxicated, Possession of Heroin, Possession of Paraphernalia and Possession of a Legend Drug Injection device are being sent to the Prosecutor’s Office for review.
