A wanted woman was arrested after police found illegal drugs hidden in Taco Bell wrappers and tortillas during a traffic stop in Tennessee last week.

Mt. Juliet Police said in a statement posted on X that officers stopped a vehicle with a suspended license on Interstate 40 on Friday, June 28.

During the stop, officers seized gummy bears, pills and marijuana laced with meth, LSD, THC and fentanyl. Mt. Juliet police released pictures of the drugs, which were packaged like burritos.

“Not your average Taco Bell order,” the department wrote.

According to police, an unidentified 37-year-old woman from Nashville who was wanted in three counties was arrested during the stop.

She was charged with failure to appear in Sumner County Court, drug possession in Rutherford County, and failure to appear in Wilson County Court, among other charges.

“Thanks to our diligent team, these dangerous drugs are off the streets and the person we were looking for is now behind bars,” the department said.

No further details were released. KTLA sister station WKRN reports.
