Traffic Stop Finds Woman's Stash of Heroin, Meth

South Lake Minnetonka police made the arrest.

A routine traffic stop near Shorewood ended with a Minneapolis woman under arrest and a small seizure of methamphetamine and heroin from her vehicle.

South Lake Minnetonka Police stopped Greta Gozum Wednesday near the intersection of Minnesota highways 7 and 41 after officers allegedly observed her speeding. Court documents indicate police saw a pink funnel with white residue and balloons or plastic bags inside the car.

A K-9 unit was called to the scene, and the dog indicated a presence of narcotics in the car. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered what police say were more than six grams of heroin and about a gram of methamphetamine. They also say they found drug paraphernalia, including used syringes, a digital scale and rubber strapping, along with six tablets of a prescription narcotic called Clonazapam.
