High River RCMP have arrested a local woman, charging her with drug and weapons offences.

RCMP Sergeant Brent Hawker says it all stemmed from a traffic stop Saturday.

"I think it's just kind of worked in our favour. On the morning of April 9, 2016, High River detachment here, conducted a traffic stop and as a result of the search of that vehicle and a residence in the community we managed to seize some illegal drugs."

Police seized $300 of Valium, $2,900 worth of Methamphetamine and $3,900 worth of Crack Cocaine, along with a switch-blade knife and $5,930 in cash.

32 year old Dawn Cabelka is facing three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of a prohibited weapon.

She made her first court appearance Monday morning in a Calgary courtroom.
