CUSHING TOWNSHIP -- A traffic stop led to the arrest of two people in Morrison County.

When he approached the vehicle he said the driver gave him a false name and date of birth. The deputy was later able to identify the driver as 45-year-old Romano Needham, of Redby and learned she had two active warrants for her arrest.

The deputy also noticed some suspicious activity inside the van and conducted a search where he found about 11 ounces of suspected heroin.

Needham's passenger, 22-year-old Darryl Goodman from Alsip, Illinois, was also arrested.

The case is still under investigation and has been forwarded to the Morrison County Attorney's Office awaiting formal charges.
