Woman arrested – again – with meth, cash
Not ordered on GPS monitoring because she’s cut off bracelet in past
Police say she had about $15,000 worth of meth in her car.
That’s how much cash Douazhong Vu will need to get out of the La Crosse County jail.
Vu is facing new drug charges, after a traffic stop Thursday in West Salem, Wis. An officer found the meth and more than $1,000 in cash in Vu’s car after pulling her over for swerving all over the road.
Prosecutor Noel Lawrence had asked for a $20,000 bond, and said that Vu has a history of removing electronic monitoring.
“We’ll leave GPS monitoring to the court’s discretion as she either cut off her old bracelet or stopped charging it altogether,” Lawrence told the court.
Judge Scott Horne ordered that Vu should not get a G-P-S monitor, because she has cut off a similar monitor in the past.
“Taking into account that she was on bound for the same offense for which she is now arrested again – a substantial amount of methamphetamine in her vehicle,” Horne said.
Douazhong Vu and her sister KoJoua Vu, were also busted during a drug raid at a La Crosse apartment in April.
