On August 10, 2018 Detective Brett Dammon with the Lewiston Police Department was conducting surveillance of suspected drug residences when he noticed a vehicle of interest departing one of the residences he had his eyes on. Detective Dammon called Lewiston K9 Officer Chris Reese and requested his assistance in stopping the vehicle.
This is the footage from that traffic stop.
*The video directs you here for current case status information. But why didn’t I just include it in the video? The answer is “Because I don’t have it yet.” I am waiting to hear back from the court for details, but this is what I know right now: Lydia was charged with three felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. On 3/27/19 it appears that two counts were dropped and she pleaded guilty to the third, for which adjudication was withheld pending successful completion of three years felony probation. It is unclear, but there may have somehow been 30 days of jail time, 150 hours community service, and some fines thrown in there — I am waiting to hear back on that.
What I do know for sure, however, is that on 10/29/19 Lydia was arrested and charged with violating her probation. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail for a period of time I am waiting to hear back on. (Her sentence is at least 40 days, and at most 1.5 years.) She may also be facing federal charges.

It was all a set up. She was an informant and the whole thing was staged in order to get the big fish.
This whole system is a joke. You can't consume drugs that you want in your own personal time without everyone trying to make money off you.
I've seen many meth dealing men cry on their knees begging that they have a family and this chick just took it like a champ without snitching on the connect.
Like what’s the point of the music? Might as well bring out some tacos too
Why do they always put good music in shitty situations are this spirit guides?
All that because she was not wearing a seatbelt or using a turn signal. Remember kids, only break one law at a time.
How do these people never seem to know what drugs and stuff they have with them.
Something about this officer doesn't sit right with me. Thats a good girl ya ya ya good girl yippee
Mickey Mouse: good girl
You can tell a drug addict just by their mouths
This has to be the coolest cop ever. Not to mention…. Honesty is always the best policy!!
I hate when they try acting like their your friends.
Well done love If you do a deal with this clown you'll never feel clean again
Stopped for minor traffic violation and then the stop was extended to search the vehicle, isn't that not legal?
A dog should not be allowed. It's a dog.
Only one that seen that she had her seat belt on in the beginning of the video?
So you can just run a drug dog around a car for any stop?
If the dealers had eyes on her they put a target on her back by releasing her
Of course more of the same drug doesn't add new charges! It does change the amount which make the jail time longer. Are people that dense to believe their lies!!
Wow. That how it works. Everyone calm, honest. That cop should do training for other officers.
That cops sure is sniffing alot im starting to wonder if he took a rip off dat booty powder Lol i know i probably would…..
Do you believe the legalization of drugs would diminish the demand for drugs would make society more or less safe?
Oh those dogs are about 20% accurate too same with those on site drug testers so just so ya all know…glaze from a donut tests positive same with birdshit…..
The cop was a good cop
Wtf how did she walk away from this???
I don’t care how polite I am to the cops in my area, they’re still taking me to jail with that jackpot.
And yes I know she’s not out of the woods but damn. Didn’t know you could actually skip and go home till court…like what, how??
