MASON CITY – A couple of ladies using the environment as their own personal trash can were busted by an observant officer and hauled to jail on drug charges.
Tuesday evening around 5:46 PM, a Mason City police officer observed the occupants of a car discard a can and plastic debris from the vehicle while it was in motion near the 900 block of South Illinois. Officers stopped the car to investigate littering.
Two ladies inside the car, Katlin Marie Dravenstott and Allison Kay Teeter, both age 20 of Mason City, were cited for littering. The investigation also discovered a small amount of controlled substance (marijuana).
Both females were arrested for Possession of Controlled Substance. Dravenstott was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. They were taken to the county jail.
Apparently, Ms. Dravenstott was not happy about her arrest, and left this social media post after she was released from jail:
Two other subjects in the car were not cited.
Cerro Gordo deputies assisted with the traffic stop.
