Fort Mill police stopped a local grandmother in a stolen car and found her carrying meth while she drove around her 7-year-old granddaughter, a police report says.

Wonda Zissett, 54, of McGee Street, Fort Mill, was arrested Wednesday for possession with intent to distribute meth, possession of stolen property and driving under suspension.

Officers pulled Zissett over around 2 p.m. Wednesday after the department’s automated license plate reader alerted to the 2004 Jeep passenger car being stolen, the report says. Zissett was pulled over on Steele Street.

A search of the woman found her carrying meth, leading the officer to handcuff her and place her in his patrol car. The child’s mother, Kristie Tager, was called to take custody of the girl, according to the police report.
