4,000+ pills seized, local woman busted

CLEVELAND, Tenn. (AP) -- Drug agents in southeastern Tennessee have found more than 4,000 Oxycodone and Xanax pills in a car stopped for speeding on Interstate 75 and arrested a Florida woman.

An e-mail statement from the Bradley County Sheriff's Department said the agents arrested 32-year-old Deidrea Renaye Graham of Lake Park, Fla., after stopping a northbound 2010 Ford Taurus.

Officers found the pills in bags Tuesday after noticing a bulge in the back of the rear seat.

Graham was a passenger and claimed ownership of the pills.

She is charged with possession of drugs for resale, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. A judge set a $75,000 bond, and Graham remained in custody Wednesday. A court clerk said records do not show she has a lawyer.
