Police stopped a 27-year-old woman from Junee who was driving on Regent Street on the morning of Tuesday, May 1. The officers gave the woman a random drug test, which quickly returned a positive reading. The Junee woman was then arrested and conveyed to the local police station for a secondary oral fluid test, which also returned positive. Police sent the sample off for further analysis and prohibited the woman from driving.
