LEE COUNTY, Ala. (WRBL) –The Lee County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of an Auburn woman accused of placing tracking devices on her husband’s vehicle, which led LCSO investigators to find multiple prescription pills and bags of ketamine inside her residence.
On Aug. 5, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a report about four tracking devices found on two vehicles in the 11000 block of Lee Road 72 located in the Camp Hill Community.
