Phanomphone Lakhiaminh, 53, of Fort Smith, was arrested Friday in connection with possession with intent to deliver. Police decided to search the vehicle because of her nervous behavior during the traffic stop, according to the news release.

Lakhiaminh was being held Friday in the Washington County Jail with no bond set.
