Police: Woman found with xylazine, heroin, meth in vehicle

A 32-year-old woman is accused of dealing drugs after xylazine, heroin and other narcotics were found in a safe in her vehicle.

Jenna T. Kern, of Apollo, told Butler Township police officers the drugs were for personal use as they searched her vehicle in the parking lot of Sheetz on New Castle Road in May.

Kern was charged on Dec. 12 with felony drug sales and two counts of misdemeanor drug possession.

According to police, a Sheetz employee reported a woman passed out in a vehicle around 1 a.m. May 27. Officers made contact with Kern, who said she was sleeping, documents showed.

Kern was found with $300 and a lighter and pipe were near her in the vehicle, police said.

Kern consented to a vehicle search, police said, which yielded a black safe and a machete.

Police said the safe contained a purple Play-Doh container filled with suspected meth, a clear plastic jar of suspected meth, several pills, and 160 assorted colored stamp bags.

The contents of the safe were sent to be lab tested, and it was discovered the assorted stamp bags contained xylazine, heroin/fentanyl, buprenorphine, and oxycodone.

Kern’s preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.
