Salem Police say they recovered both heroin and cocaine during a traffic stop on a car driven by a Kankakee woman. Police initially stopped the car driven by Kimberly Miller on West Main Street because they knew from an earlier stop she had a suspended driver’s license. She was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail on two counts of possession of a controlled substance and driving on a suspended license. Police say in addition to the drugs found on her person, there were scattered small pieces of cocaine in the car. A search warrant will be sought on Monday to determine if there are any other drugs in the car.
