An officer saw an expired Georgia plate displayed on a white Toyota sedan at the 5600 block of Hixson Pike. The driver then continued to a parking lot at the 5600 block of Old Hixson Pike where police conducted a traffic stop. The driver provided a valid driver's license, however she said she did not have insurance for her vehicle. The officer ran her information and found she had a warrant for possession of amphetamines out of Georgia, which did not verify. The officer also learned through the Hamilton County General Sessions Court website that she had a previous charge of possession of a controlled substance, so the officer asked for her consent to search her vehicle, which she denied. The officer then returned to their vehicle and called for a K-9 unit. As K-9 was en route, the officer ran her plate, which came back to a black Toyota, so the officer wrote down the VIN of her vehicle, which did not have a registered plate associated with it (and did not come back as stolen). K-9 then arrived and swept the vehicle, however the K-9 did not alert. The officer issued the woman the appropriate traffic citations and left.
