Police responded to Pierce Street because Coleman’s vehicle was obstructing traffic, she said.

In a separate drug case, Nicole Warnock, 33, 103 Firetower Road, was arrested Sunday and charged with possession of methamphetamine, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Warnock was the passenger in a vehicle during a traffic stop, and meth was found in a bag belonging to her, Pace said.
