Two Arrests In Two Days For Woman In Santa Cruz County

A traffic stop in Scotts Valley on Tuesday led to a woman being arrested for drugs twice in two days, according to police.

Officers conducted a false registration traffic stop on a Toyota Celica and found the driver, identified as Brenda Perry, 27, had an outstanding warrant for felony burglary, police said.

During a search of the vehicle, officers found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, police said. Perry was arrested on the outstanding warrant and on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

Perry was released from the Santa Cruz County Jail on Wednesday, and officers then conducted a probation search of the hotel room where she was staying.

During the search, officers found 65.9 grams of methamphetamine and items consistent with drug sales, police said. Perry was arrested again, this time on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Another woman in the room at the time of the search, identified as Kathleen Feddema, 46, was found in possession of methamphetamine, police said. Feddema was cited for alleged possession of a controlled substance and was released at the scene, according to police.
