Court documents say police officers conducting a special operation pulled over Chami and searched her car, finding 18.5 grams of cocaine — with an estimated street value of $5000 — in the driver’s foot well underneath a carpet.

Magistrate Carolyn Huntsman warned Chami on Friday: “It’s a serious charge, it’s a large quantity — they are matters when sometimes people go to jail.”

The case was adjourned so a sentencing assessment report could be prepared before a hearing in July.
