PHOENIX – Deputies with the Arizona Department of Public Safety caught a California woman driving with over 100 pounds of drugs in late June, according to a Friday announcement.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona said 34-year-old Martha Angulo was indicted last week on drug possession.

Official field tests found those packages were full of both methamphetamine and cocaine, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
