FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) – A Franklin woman is facing drug charges after allegedly selling Crack Cocaine at a known location off State Route 417.

According to court documents, Franklin Police Department filed criminal charges against 34-year-old Shannon Marie Norr, of Franklin.

According to a criminal complaint, Officer Scott, of the Franklin Police Department, was in plain clothes in an unmarked vehicle. At this time NW Regional Drug Task Force Agents were conducting a surveillance detail in the Franklin area.

The complaint states that around 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 23, Officer Scott “stopped at (a convenience store) on State Route 417 to talk to another agent on the phone…and observed Shannon Marie Norr [known to (Officer Scott) from prior incidents] standing in front of a maroon in color GMC pick-up truck with an unknown male in the driver’s seat. A silver in color Chevrolet Impala pulled up next to her and (a known female driver) exited the vehicle. She then made contact with Norr.
