NORTHWOOD – An errant driver led law enforcement to a drug bust in Northwood this past weekend.
The Worth county sheriff’s office says that on July 22, 2018 at approximately 8:18 PM, they responded to the Villa Woods Apartments #9 in Northwood for a report of a female operating an unlicensed motorcycle or scooter and nearly striking cars on the roadway.
