Abington Woman Caught Smoking Marijuana While Driving in Warrington

On September 12, 2025, at approximately 1:07 p.m., a Warrington Police officer observed a vehicle traveling north on Easton Road near Auto Zone. The driver, later identified as 31-year-old Sharon Kathleen Derrick of Abington, appeared to be smoking marijuana while driving.

After stopping the vehicle, police said Derrick provided a false name. Officers later determined her driver’s license was suspended for a previous DUI and her registration was also suspended. Derrick failed a series of field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest.

A search of her vehicle uncovered suspected marijuana and multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia. Derrick refused to submit to a blood test and was released pending a criminal complaint filed with District Court.

Criminal charges, and any discussion thereof, are merely allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
