• Jessica Weiner, 48, of McAdoo, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol for an incident on Feb. 9. Police were on patrol on West Blaine Street when they saw Weiner driving a vehicle in reverse at 12:38 a.m. As she backed up, at an angle, she struck and knocked down a parking meter pole.

She was also cited for careless driving.

• William Ward, 56, of McAdoo visited the McAdoo Police Station at 6:50 a.m. on Feb. 11, asking officers if they were familiar with the appearance of methamphetamine. When he received a positive reply, he showed them a plastic bag in the center console of his truck, asking if it was meth. The answer was yes, at which point Ward told the officer he thought he was being set up by a neighbor. When he admitted the truck had been locked and there were no signs of tampering, police charged Ward with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
