A woman from Knox County was recently arrested after an officer was dispatched to investigate a car stopped in the middle of the road.

Joanna Harris, 42, of Corbin, was arrested by Harlan City Police Department officer George Young on Jan. 11.

According to the citation, HPD received a complaint from Kentucky State Police, Post 10, advising officers of a vehicle whose driver was possibly under the influence. KSP also advised the vehicle was observed stopped in the roadway for no apparent reason and the occupants appeared to be arguing.

Harris allegedly told the officer she did not have her identification, but that her name was Karen Harris with a birth date of Oct. 17, 1978. Young later confirmed through a NCIC check that her real name was Joanna and she had an active warrant for her arrest in Knox County.

She was charged with first-degree possession of controlled substance (methamphetamine), third-degree possession of controlled substance (drug unspecified), tampering with physical evidence, failure to appear, giving an officer false identifying information and identity theft. She was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on two full-cash bonds totaling $30,000, both with 10 percent bail credit.
