Mifflinburg, PA – A preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 30 for a Union County woman accused of driving under the influence of controlled substances with a child in the vehicle.
Angela S. Renner, 49, of Mifflinburg, was arrested by state police on the afternoon of Aug. 30 on Johnstown Road in West Buffalo Township. Pennsylvania State Police Private Tyler Arbogast in Milton had arrested Renner because of a driver’s license suspension, according to the arrest affidavit.
Arbogast noted that when he came in contact with Renner, there was a smell of burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle. He also noticed a child in the back seat. Renner’s eyes were injected with blood and glass, Arbogast wrote in the affidavit.
Renner told Arbogast he was leaving his friend, who was in the passenger seat. When asked if he smoked marijuana, Renner told Arbogast that he did, but that he had not smoked for a few days. Arbogast then asked Renner’s passenger to get out of the vehicle and talk to him. The passenger told Arbogast that she and Renner had smoked marijuana half an hour earlier, according to the affidavit.
When Arbogast questioned Renner again, he admitted to smoking marijuana in the vehicle half an hour earlier. The boy was in the back seat while the women smoked, Arbogast wrote.
Renner consented to search the vehicle and Arbogast found a smoking pipe with burnt marijuana waste and a small plastic bag of marijuana. A silver CBD oil vape pen was found on the front driver’s side door, Arbogast wrote.
Renner was taken to Evangelical Community Hospital for a blood draw. A lab report indicated that Renner had THC in his system at the time, as well as methamphetamine.
Renner was charged with misdemeanors of driving under the influence, endangering the welfare of children and related summary offenses. His preliminary hearing will be before District Judge Jeffrey C. Mensch in Mifflinburg.
