A Carter County, Ky., woman is in jail after troopers said they discovered marijuana, prescription pills and cash during a safety checkpoint.
Heather Hacker, 35, of Grayson faces a long list of charges including operating a motor vehicle under the influence, drug trafficking, possession of marijuana and carrying a concealed weapon, troopers said.
