Police stopped a car on Sept. 16 after noticing that neither the driver nor the three other passengers were wearing seatbelts, Blairstown police said in a news release.
The driver, who was being paid to drive two of the passengers to the doctors, told police she didn't have anything illegal on her but could not speak for her passengers, police said.
The driver allowed police to check the vehicle and found that passenger Amy Ippolito had an active NCIC warrant out of the Hunterdon County Sheriff's Office for conspiracy to engage in a crime, authorities said. She was charged with probation or suspended sentence and taken to the Warren County Jail.
The other two passengers got out of the car as a K9 officer continued searching the car.
A white residue found in the car was found to belong to James Caskey of Port Murray, who told police the residue was meth and Xanax. Charges against Caskey were pending.
The driver and three passengers were issued a summons for failing to wear a seatbelt.
