Drug investigators in the western U.P. have arrested a woman they say was bringing drugs to Gogebic County.

The Gogebic Iron Area Narcotics Team says they learned 32-year-old Rachael Porter was getting methamphetamine from Oneida County.

They heard she was traveling through Iron County, and would be entering Gogebic County the evening of November 22nd.

Police made contact with Porter in Ironwood, and a K-9 detected drugs in the vehicle.

Investigators say a search found meth and cocaine.

Porter was arraigned in 98th District Court in Gogebic County on multiple drug counts and for operating under the influence.

She may face charges in other jurisdictions as well.
