A K-9 alerted officers to the presence of drugs in the car. A search yielded two containers of marijuana wrapped in plastic tape to disguise the smell.
Police charged Leon with trafficking marijuana by possession and transportation and with maintaining a vehicle for keeping and storing narcotics. They also seized her 2002 BMW X5.
Leon was being held Friday in the Johnston County Jail under a $400,000 secure bond.
