At this time, the trooper learned the license plate on Crawley's vehicle belonged to a different car and Crawley herself did not hold a valid driver's license, per the release.

Pursuant to a roadside investigation, the release said, Crawley allegedly relinquished a large package of suspect narcotics that had been concealed upon her person. NHSP said the package was later found to be 300 grams of suspected fentanyl.

Details related to charges stemming from the incident were not released by NSHP, which said the circumstances of the traffic stop and subsequent roadside investigation remain under investigation.
