ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — An Altoona woman is facing possession and delivery charges after allegedly selling meth to someone who later flagged down a state trooper to report the sale.
Court documents show that 40-year-old Jennifer Rae Grimm faces those charges along with 5 other related drug activity charges after troopers were flagged down in the City of Altoona Wednesday afternoon, May 24.
According to state police, they were on patrol and in the Juniata section of Altoona when they saw a car leave a home at 1322 North 4th Avenue. While behind the car, troopers said the driver began trying to flag them down as they pulled over.
