Lousy driving landed a woman in jail for possession of drugs.

On Friday night a Baxter County sheriff's deputy stopped a car on State Highway 342 after observing it driving erratically.

The deputy reportedly smelled marijuana and conducted a search of the vehicle.

On the passenger side of the car, where 30-year-old Jessie Dominique Moore was sitting, the deputy reported finding a pack of Kool cigarettes with suspected marijuana and a pipe inside.
