Three women were charged Wednesday after a 4:40 p.m. traffic stop.
Charged were:

An officer of the Bellefontaine Police Department observed Ms. Shulaw commit several moving violations including traffic control violations and failure to use a turn signal before stopping the car on Sandusky Avenue at Pratt Street.
A used hypodermic needle was found in a makeup bag inside the car.
When asked about other contraband, Ms. Shulaw removed a pipe for smoking crack cocaine and crack cocaine from her bra and handed them to the officer.
Ms. Stidam also reached into her bra and pulled out a small bag with marijuana.
Ms. Shulaw and Ms. Burk were lodged in the Logan County Jail.
