Woman in Cybertruck allegedly found with 17 pounds of meth in diaper bag

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia woman was charged on Friday after police say they found her with 17 pounds of methamphetamine.

Asia Schafer, 23, was charged with first-degree drug trafficking. She is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says that a Columbia police officer was monitoring traffic around 1:30 p.m. Thursday when a Tesla Cybertruck with dark windows was seen heading eastbound on Interstate 70 near the Stadium Boulevard exit. The statement says the tint in the windows was too dark and tested at 11% light transmittance, with state law requiring 35%.

The officer pulled over the vehicle at Broadway and Keene Street, the statement says. Schafer allegedly told police that she was coming from the park for lunch, but the officer wrote that he “had prior knowledge that the vehicle was coming from Kansas City and Schafer was lying.” She eventually stated she came from Kansas City, the statement says.

A K-9 was used and drugs were found. Law enforcement found about 17 pounds of methamphetamine in a diaper bag.
