EBENSBURG – A DUI checkpoint netted a woman from Pittsburgh accused of transporting marijuana and painkillers, authorities said.

Agents from the Cambria County Drug Task Force on Friday charged Shandia M. Graham, 25, with felony and misdemeanor drug counts.

According to a criminal complaint, the task force set up a DUI checkpoint on state Route 22 west at 3920 Admiral Perry Highway. Authorities said they could smell marijuana when they stopped Graham’s vehicle just before midnight.

Drug agents allegedly seized marijuana, Oxycodone pills, a scale and $1,093 cash, the complaint said.

Graham reportedly said “they found my weed.”

Graham was arraigned by on-call District Judge Kevin Price of Johnstown and freed on $20,000 unsecured bond.
