Troopers seize $12,500 worth of cocaine, ecstasy and prescription pills in Stark County

COLUMBUS – Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers filed felony drug charges against an Ohio woman after a traffic stop in Stark County. During the traffic stop, troopers seized 180 grams of cocaine, 100 dose units of LSD, 11 ecstasy pills and 5 prescription pills worth approximately $12,500.

On March 4, at 1:08 a.m., troopers stopped a 2009 Hyundai Sonata with Ohio registration for a marked lanes violation on U.S. 62. While interacting with the driver, troopers suspected she was driving impaired and subsequently arrested her for OVI. A search incident to arrest was conducted and revealed the contraband.

The driver, Alexis Rosati, 23, Salem, was incarcerated in the Stark County Jail and charged with possession of cocaine, a first-degree felony; possession of LSD, a third-degree felony; and possession of a controlled substance, a fifth-degree felony.

If convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison and up to a $32,500 fine.
