LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) — A 24-year-old Lincoln woman, Shelby Weston, is facing five felony drug charges after police found her unconscious in a U-Haul truck parked at a Casey’s gas station early Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred around 12:19 a.m. at Casey’s near 27th and Superior streets. A store employee alerted authorities to a woman passed out in a vehicle near the gas pumps.
Upon arrival, Lincoln Police found Weston unresponsive. After waking her, officers noticed signs of impairment, including bloodshot, glossy eyes, and observed a Narcan nasal spray in her purse. Given her prior drug-related charges, officers conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle.

Suspected methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl

A ledger with pricing, weights, and “owe” notes
While officers did not break open the suspected fentanyl pills, initial tests from swabbing the outside yielded no positive result.
Charges and Bond
Weston was booked into Lancaster County Jail and charged with:
Possession of a controlled substance
Possession with intent to distribute a hazardous drug
And three additional related felony drug offenses
She is being held on a $500,000 bond. Her next court hearing is scheduled for June 25.
