Round Lake Park woman facing drug charges after traffic stop in Fox Lake

Fox Lake police officials said officers pulled over a vehicle driven by Candice M. Wedge just after 10:45 p.m. near the intersection of Cambridge Parkway and Route 134.

Authorities said Wedge was acting nervous and was deceptive when answering routine questions during the stop. A police dog was called out to perform an open air sniff search on Wedge’s vehicle and signaled drug were present.

Police searched the vehicle and recovered what they believe were 60 grams of crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia and a substantial amount of cash.

Her vehicle was seized as part of the investigation.

She is charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Wedge was ordered held in jail pretrial after a detention hearing Tuesday.
