Columbus police arrested a local woman on drug-related charges after a traffic stop for driving a vehicle with an expired license plate.
Sasha S. Penrose, 32, 2230 Sims Court, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia after the traffic stop at 3:15 p.m. Friday, said Lt. Matt Harris, Columbus Police Department spokesman.
