LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - During a traffic stop this week, officers with the Lincoln Police Department discovered nearly 40 grams of meth and a number of pills in the driver's purse.

Around 7 p.m. on Monday, an officer stopped a silver 2005 Buick Sedan with no license plates near 14th and B Streets.

LPD said the driver, identified as 37-year-old Risa VanMeter, wasn't able to provide a drivers license or paperwork for the car.

Polcie said VanMeter was acting very nervous and the officer questioned her about her behavior. LPD said she denied being in possession of anything illegal and allowed the officer to search the car.

According to police, when officers opened the car door, there was a strong smell of marijuana coming from the car.
