Clarkston woman arrested

A drug arrest in Colfax early April 21 included a new element: Dust Off. Jolene R. Boyd, 38, Clarkston, was booked into the county jail here at 3 a.m. Saturday on probable charges of possession of methamphetamine and hydrocodone. She was also detained on a warrant from Asotin County.

Deputy Michael Jordan's arrest report said he stopped the car on Highway 195 near the intersection at Poplar Street in south Colfax because of inconsistency in the license. Boyd was a passenger in the car.

Jordan also detected a smell which was later determined to be Dust Off. Boyd reportedly told the deputy she was using the Dust Off to clean up the inside of the car, but it appeared to him that it had only been discharged in the area where she was sitting in the car.

Another occupant in the car reportedly told the deputy Boyd inhaled several cans of Dust Off a day.

The drugs involved in the charges were allegedly found in a bag during a search of the car.

The driver of the car was cited for driving with a suspended license.

Conditions for release against Boyd were lifted as formal charges had not been filed against her within 72 hours.
