Spokane Valley Police Dept: - D Studded Tires, False Names and Methamphetamine On April 14th 2014, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Spokane Valley Sheriff’s Deputy Darin Powers observed a white Geo Prizm travelling eastbound on Sprague Avenue in Spokane Valley. Deputy Powers heard the distinct sound of studded snow tires coming from the vehicle. He stopped the vehicle and contacted the two female occupants. The female driver, later identified as 49-year-old Kristina D. Booth, handed Deputy Powers a Washington driver’s license from her purse initially identifying her with the last name of Davies. This did not match the name of the registered owner of the vehicle and proof of insurance could not be provided. Deputy Powers was told the females borrowed the vehicle, but there seemed to be several inconsistencies with the information provided. He checked the driver’s license provided by the driver and learned it was a Class A license with endorsements. He re-contacted the driver and asked her questions about the driver’s license endorsement and listed address, which she could not answer. He also explained the picture and physical description on the driver’s license did not match. Booth continued to deny any wrong doing and insisted her name was Davies. She told Deputy Powers she had additional information in her purse that would help corroborate her identity, but she failed to produce the documentation. Deputy Powers explained if she did not provide her real name, she would be arrested. Booth admitted she was lying and identified herself with the last name of Cournoyer. She said was scared and didn’t tell the truth because her driver’s license was suspended in Alaska. Deputy Powers checked this new information and found no driver’s record in Alaska or Washington. Deputy Powers arrested Booth and transported her to the Spokane County Jail for Refusal to Provide Information and Fraudulently Providing a Driver’s License. Once at the jail, staff knew Booth, correctly identified her, and confirmed her identity by previous booking photos. After checking Booth’s correct information, Deputy Powers learned she had a felony warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance and a Department of Corrections Hold. He also learned her driving privileges were suspended in Washington. During the search at the jail, jail staff located a clear baggy containing a white crystal substance in her bra area. The substance showed a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine when field tested. Booth was additionally booked for the warrants, Possession of a Controlled Substance Methamphetamine and Driving While License Suspended.
