    MT. JULIET, Tenn. ( WKRN ) — A wanted woman was arrested after police found illicit drugs concealed in Taco Bell wrappers and tortillas during a traffic stop in Tennessee last week.

    The Mt. Juliet Police Department said in a statement posted on X that officers stopped a vehicle with a suspended license on Interstate 40 on Friday, June 28.

    During the stop, officers seized meth, LSD, THC and fentanyl-laced gummies, pills and marijuana. Mt. Juliet police posted images of the drugs wrapped like burritos.

    “Not your average Taco Bell order,” the department wrote.

    An unidentified 37-year-old woman from Nashville, who was wanted in three counties, was arrested during the stop, according to police.

    Her charges included failure to appear in Sumner County court, drug possession in Rutherford County and failure to appear in Wilson County court.

    “Thanks to our diligent team, these dangerous drugs are off the streets, and this wanted individual is now behind bars,” the department said.

    No further details have been released.
