On Sunday March 14, Ogle County Deputies were dispatched to Casey’s in Stillman Valley (105 S. Rural Rd) for a driving complaint.
A concerned citizen reported that a female, operating a white Kia Soul, had almost struck a vehicle near the intersection of Rural Road and Roosevelt Street. The concerned citizen reported that the female had appeared intoxicated after witnessing her inside of the establishment.
Upon Deputies arrival, contact was made with the female, identified as 37-year-old Sarah J. Schwartz of Oregon. Deputies conducted an investigation and subsequently placed Schwartz under arrest for Driving While under the Influence of Drugs. Schwartz was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Ogle County Jail.
While at the Jail, Schwartz was additionally charged with Possession of Methamphetamine, 2 counts of Possession of Controlled Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Endangering the Life or Heath of a Child.
Per the Pre-Trial Fairness Act (Safe-T Act) the aforementioned charges are not detainable, and Schwartz was released from the Ogle County Jail on a Notice to Appear. Schwartz has a return court date set for early next month.
