A Parksville woman was arrested by Boyle County Sheriff’s deputies Monday following a traffic stop on U.S. 150, “due to minor traffic violations.”

Kristidawn Laswell, 43, of Parksville, was found with a loaded heroin syringe in her wallet and Oxycodone pills on her, after being stopped by K9 Deputy Casey McCoy and Detective Donnie Moses, according to the sheriff’s office.

She was arrested and was transported to the Boyle County Detention Center. 

Laswell was searched as she entered the facility — standard practice for inmates entering the jail, according to the sheriff’s office. In her clothing and in her body cavity, deputies found heroin, pills and crystal methamphetamine, which resulted in charges of promoting contraband in the first-degree, according to the sheriff’s office.

Laswell also faces charges of possession of drug paraphernalia; having a prescription not in its original container; tampering with physical evidence; first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (drug unspecified); first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine); first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (opiates); first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (heroin); and rear license not illuminated.

Laswell was being held in the jail on a $25,000 cash bond Wednesday.
