An August 12th jury trial has been scheduled for a 40-year-old woman from Colfax who is facing a controlled substance violation charge of possession with the intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine in Hardin County District Court.
In a criminal complaint filed by the Iowa Falls Police Department, Lacey Petersen was a passenger in a vehicle on January 10th. She exited the vehicle, leaving her purse behind.
A search of the purse revealed two bags suspected of being methamphetamine.
The DCI lab results showed that altogether the meth weighed over 47-grams.
If convicted on the drug charge, Petersen could be sentenced for up to 25-years in prison.
