(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is facing charges following the discovery of what authorities suspect to be methamphetamine.

The discovery was made Sunday as 31-year-old Whitney Hanson was being booked into the Atchison County Jail.

According to a release from Atchison County Undersheriff Toby Smith, the contraband was found within the intake area of the jail.

A short investigation followed, and that led to the arrest of Hanson on charges of trafficking contraband in a correctional facility, possession of a stimulant, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hanson was being booked into jail following her arrest by Atchison Police on an Atchison County District Court warrant for failure to appear.

She remains in custody at the Atchison County Jail.
