An Alabama woman who was arrested on marijuana charges earlier this year was jailed Tuesday after she turned herself in for allegedly missing a court appearance.

Amber Lechae Hinton, 23, 1910 W. Meade St., S.W., was charged Tuesday with failure to appear after a motorist flagged down a Moultrie Police Department officer on Fourth Avenue Northeast. Hinton’s parents asked directions to Colquitt County Jail where they were taking her at the time.

The officer took Hinton into custody and took her to the jail, where she was booked on the charge filed by the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Department.

In February Hinton and Karine Lee Rodriguez, 23, 3088 Antique Oaks Circle, Winter Park, Fla., were each charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. At the time, sheriff’s reports said that Hinton failed to stop at a stop sign at Highway 37 East and Cool Springs Road.

When a deputy stopped the car he smelled suspected marijuana and a search of the 2001 Suzuki Vitara turned up a backpack containing four plastic sandwich bags containing suspected marijuana and a digital scale.
