Mindy Mitchell, 26, also faces a possible charge of transporting an open container and no proof of insurance. 

Police reported they stopped her for driving northbound in a southbound lane just after 4 a.m. near the intersection of Prosperity and Main.

The officer could see an open beer bottle between her legs and another on the floor.

That did lead to a warrant and police say they found marijuana, marijuana wax and marijuana brownies. 

She apparently admitted she came from Wichita after buying the drugs. In court,

In court, the judge told he she needed to be quiet because of discussing the case with no attorney present. 

Her request for a reduction of the $2,700 bond was denied.
