MASON CITY – A North Iowa couple with at least 5 different illegal drugs was stopped just outside the NIACC campus Monday before 3 AM.
According to Cerro Gordo Sheriff Kevin Pals, a traffic stop was conducted at 12th Street NE and College Drive at the NIACC campus on November 30, 2015 at 2:51 AM, apparently due to the driver not stopping at a stop sign. During the traffic stop and ensuing investigation and search, drugs were found that appeared to be prepped for delivery.
Drugs that were found, according to Sheriff Pals, include: Meth, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, Tizanidine, Amphetamine, Alprazolam, and Hydromorphone.
The two occupants in the vehicle – the driver 22-year-old Alyssa Marie Sandry of Forest City and passenger 28-year-old Ernesto Gregory Ruiz of Mason City – were arrested.
