FREDERICKSBURG, VA — A 33-year-old Spotsylvania woman is facing narcotics charges after she was stopped in Fredericksburg City for driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen, according to police.

An officer with the Fredericksburg Police Department was on routine patrol in the 1100 block of Carl D. Silver Parkway the evening of Dec. 13, when they spotted a vehicle that had been reported stolen. The officer initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle, which was being driven by Tamburr Johnson.
