A 50-year-old Boynton woman faces grand theft auto and multiple drug charges after Palm Beach Police said they pulled her over driving a stolen car.

A 50-year-old Boynton Beach woman was charged with felony grand theft auto, felony possession of heroin and a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia after she was pulled over while driving a stolen vehicle, according to a police report.

On Wednesday just before 5 p.m., the license plate recognition system on the Lake Worth Bridge alerted police to a stolen vehicle entering town. Officers pulled over Sandra Ann Maddigan driving a black, 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt southbound on South Ocean Boulevard near Lake Avenue, the report said. The car was reported stolen from Okeechobee County on Monday.

Maddigan told officers she borrowed the car from the registered owner who, when contacted, told police the car was stolen while he was hospitalized for 10 days, the report said.

In the trunk, police found luggage bearing Maddigan's name that contained a syringe and a bag of heroin, the report said. They also found three baggies with heroin residue in her wallet, the report said.

Two other occupants in the vehicle were let go after telling officers they were unaware the car was stolen, the report said.

Maddigan was taken to Palm Beach County Jail where she is being held on $6,000 total bond.

Records show that in 2018, she was found guilty of felony possession of drug paraphernalia and leaving the scene of an accident in Florida, as well as several traffic infractions in Florida and Washington.
