A Roanoke Rapids woman was arrested Saturday morning after a Weldon police officer recognized her as a non-licensed driver.

Weldon police Chief Christopher Davis said Corporal S. McKimmey made the stop around 2:30 a.m. at a business located in the 1800 block of Julian R. Allsbrook Highway. He noticed a woman identified as Clara Ann Joyner, 31, leaving from a business in the 1600 block.

Joyner was driving on a suspended license and admitted she was in possession of a syringe, Davis said. A joint was also found in the vehicle.

She was arrested and taken before a magistrate. She faces charges of driving while license revoked, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana.

Joyner received a $500 unsecured bond with an October 17 court date.
