Driver With Suspended Learners Permit Arrested On VTL And Drug Charges.

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports 32-year-old Tiffany Covert of Eden was arrested for drug-related charges following a traffic stop for vehicle and traffic law violations.

Covert is charged with four misdemeanor counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor counts of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, four violations for possessing a controlled substance not in the original container, and a New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law infraction. 

She was released on appearance tickets for Boston Town Court.
