MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Bibb County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman for trafficking heroin on Monday. Authorities say the incident happened around 7:10 a.m. in front of the DePoe Eye Center on Bowman Road.

Deputies identified the woman as 31-year-old Hailey Erin Vitaglinao, of Pooler.

Deputies say that Vitaglinao was reportedly slumped over the steering wheel of a Dodge Ram Pickup truck, parked on the sidewalk of Bowman Road.

When deputies arrived, they found Vitaglinao asleep behind the wheel of the truck. Deputies woke her up and noticed she was slurring her words.

Deputies took Vitaglinao to the Bibb County Jail and charged her with the Trafficking of Heroin. Authorities have set no bond for her.
