Woman asked for ID pulls out marijuana

Police say they asked a 29-year-old woman for identification. They say she pulled out a bag of marijuana. They threw her in jail.
Clearwater police say the woman was sitting in a car in a hotel parking lot at 3 a.m. Saturday when an officer approached and asked what she was doing. She told them she was talking to her boyfriend and thinking about renting a room.
The officer asked for her ID card and police say she went into her purse and pulled out the card along with a bag of pot, which she quickly tried to hide.
The officer saw it, however, and searched her purse. Police say it contained painkillers and sedatives. She was arrested on drug charges.
