Framed

The woman’s boss called her into his office to report he had received an anonymous email indicating she uses marijuana illegally and she keeps it in the glove box of her vehicle. The woman denied the allegations and allowed her boss to look through her vehicle. In the glove box was a small bag of marijuana. The woman shares her vehicle with her teenage daughter, but told police she and her daughter do not smoke marijuana. The woman told police she has some suspicions about who sent the email and may have planted the drugs, but had no evidence.
