NORWOOD — A Gouverneur woman was charged Monday following a stolen vehicle investigation on South Main Street, according to state police.

Troopers were reportedly assisting St. Lawrence County sheriff’s deputies by attempting to locate a stolen white 2016 Chrysler 300.

Troopers traveling on South Main Street observed a similar vehicle parked in the parking lot of the 711-gas station.

Police identified the operator as Michelle C. Little, 28.

Deputies arrived on scene soon thereafter and took Little into custody on the stolen vehicle complaint.

Little was also charged by troopers with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, police said.

She was transported to the St. Lawrence/ Jefferson County line and transferred over to the custody of Troop D patrols for her warrants.
