“While she was waiting for the results to come back, Huff was also ordered as part of her court arraignment to seek drug counseling.”
How can you be arraigned, much less ordered by the court to do anything, before there is any evidence against you?
A spoon with something on it that is “being tested” is not evidence. A police officer’s unfounded suspicion is not evidence.
This lady has a nice lawsuit payout coming, I think.

I bet the authorities will treat each subsequent event of not reporting to counseling as a separate offense independent of the arrest for tomato sauce so if they lose the primary case (if there is any), they won’t be found culpable for the month in jail.

That would be cause for arrest.
The crime of being poor!

Officer Krupke smelled pot Really?
How could he? There was no pot in your car, right?
Therefore, he could not possibly have smelled pot.
Officer Krupke didn't smell pot.
Officer Krupke LIED to you.
It's that simple.
Dear Officer Krupke: KRUP YOU!

Not really, everyone is guilty nowadays in the eyes of a majority of LEOs. Got pulled over for touching the white line at 630am, Officer Krupke smelled pot and wanted to search my car. I laughed and said maybe 45 yrs ago if I had this car, there might be pot in it. He blew up and accused me of getting smart with him. Couldn't believe it. Told him, no thanks, you can't search my car, get a warrant. He let me sit there for 25 minutes while he did whatever in his car, then gave me a warning ticket. BTW, I am early 60s and was dressed for work(suit and tie).LOL, love it!
More people have to start doing this to shift the LEO mindset back to "protect and serve" from "dominate and abuse". My sons are in their 20's now, but when they were teenagers I drilled it into their heads, don't cooperate. Say yes sir, no sir and do not consent to any searches.
LEOs have a tough job, but over the past 10 years it seems that they are not getting quality folks to do the job. I know my views on them have changed drastically over the past 10 years owing to 4 or 5 different benign instances with them.
I think they have become like all the other govt employees; arrogant, overpaid, and unaccountable.

No, silly. It would explain why she was eating in her car, and why she hadn’t washed her hair recently.

It was surely a willful mistake. The cop wanted to make a bust.

“If it was a “routine” traffic stop, why was the car searched?”
The spoon may have been “in plain sight”. I mean, why would you hide your Spaghetti-Os spoon?

Unofficially, she now has a record. Every time a cop runs her tag number it will come up as an arrest and is likely to trigger another incident. It will also come up when a larger local employer does a background check. It will never be removed.
