Lump in Woman's Pants Turns Out to be Cocaine: Cops

An Oak Lawn woman was charged with possession of cocaine when police noticed her and another person allegedly smoking pot in a car in the Moraine Valley Community College parking lot.

While patrolling the college parking lot at 9000 Old 88th Ave., Palos Hills, a police officer said he noticed Michelle Rog, 18, and another woman passing what appeared to be a joint around 11:30 a.m. Sept. 9.

Prosecutors said that as the officer approached the red Chrysler, which smelled of cannabis, Rog stepped out of the vehicle and admitted that she had been smoking marijuana.

According to the charges, another officer arrived on the scene. Rog was asked to step over when the officer noticed a large lump in the back of her pants.

The officer removed the lump which was a baggie containing two grams of what was later identified as cocaine. Rog was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

The assistant public defender told the judge that Rog’s last known address was in Oak Lawn, where she lived with her family. Rog works and is a student at the college.

Cook County Judge Peter Felice released Rog on a $10,000 I-bond, and ordered her placed on electronic home monitoring. She is also to submit to random drug testing.

Rog is due back in court on Sept. 30.
