While marijuana is legal in the state of Illinois, there are certain rules that apply to legalization and that includes possession of pot in a vehicle.
A rule, that two Carmi women were reminded of over the weekend, with one woman still in jail Monday morning.
Friday night, just before 11 p.m. Samantha L. Scheer, 54, of 250 Fairview Drive was arrested for possession of cannabis in a motor vehicle.
Scheer was transported to the White County Jail where she was issued a notice to appear citation and released due to the Safe-T-Act.
Sunday night, just after 9, Angela N. Bartley, 43, 1306 Highway One, Carmi was arrested following a traffic stop for an outstanding White County warrant for failure to appear on a possession of methamphetamine. Bartley was also charged with possession of marijuana in a motor vehicle by driver.
Bartley remained in custody at the White County Jail early Monday morning.
