Woman With 3 Warrants and Used Syringes Arrested in Falls

A woman with three warrants and a penchant for heroin was arrested last week in Menomonee Falls. 

Police stopped the woman July 2 near Fleet Avenue and Appleton Avenue because she was missing a front plate and was driving with false registration. When police checked the woman's record she had three warrants through the Greenfield Police Department for possession of drug paraphernalia, stolen property, and operating a vehicle with a suspended license. 

The woman admitted to using heroin the day before she was arrested in Menomonee Falls. 

She and her passenger were brought back to the police station for booking, and officers discovered more evidence of heroin use when she was searched. Officers found used syringes, tourniquets, and scorched tin cups. Several of the syringes contained blood in the barrel along with a chemical suspected to be heroin. 

Her passenger, who was arrested for a warrant, was released after it was discovered the warrant was issued in error.
