"Ashley Gabrielle Huff was indeed pulled over in an intoxicated state but the officer did not smell alcohol. A glass pipe was in plain view which lead police to suspect she was using drugs. The pipe was PC for an arrest so they searched her purse finding a blackened spoon with residual material on it. The materiel was tested and found to test positive for meth.
Now most of the experts here do not realize then next step is to see a judge who ruled that there was PC for the arrest, assigned her a public defender and released OR with a court date and pre-trial release conditions. She blew off the court date and refused to comply with release conditions and was thus arrested again and given a cash bond which she did not pay.
The lab tests which take time came back that the spoon had food on it and was only contaminated with meth. Either she used a spoon normally employed by her to cook method to eat - or she had ingested meth prior to eating from the spoon.
The officer was not at fault as he followed all process and did detect meth, The woman is a meth user.
The woman stayed in jail because she did not comply with release terms. That is on her.
The charges need not have been dropped as the spoon did have meth associated with it - but policy is to not prosecute in cases of user contamination."
