A Saturday afternoon traffic stop in Iowa City reportedly turned up a stolen sex toy.

Iowa City Police say they pulled over a 2006 Taurus near Mall Drive and Lower Muscatine Road just before 4:15 p.m. because the registered owner, 41-year-old Jennifer Isbell of the Town & Campus Apartments on Arthur Street, was barred and suspended from driving. Isbell allegedly gave the officer a fake name. A search incident to her arrest reportedly turned up a sex toy still in the packaging tucked into her waistband with a price tag of $44.95. Isbell reportedly claimed she purchased the sex toy, but it was not listed on the itemized receipt in her possession. Isbell has multiple previous theft convictions.

Isbell is charged with 3rd Degree Theft, Providing False Identity Information, and Driving While Barred. If convicted on all counts, she faces a maximum of over four years in jail.
