(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is facing drug related charges, arrested on New Year’s Day following an ongoing investigation by the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office. “We were investigating this case since mid-October,” Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News. “Finally we were able to finish it up, and wrap it up, and applied for a warrant.”
Laurie said 40-year-old Heather Meyer was arrested on the outstanding Atchison County warrant in the 700 block of Ann Street.
Among the charges on the warrant is distribution of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school. “It was within 1,000 feet of Maur Hill-Mount Academy,” Laurie said.
Meyer also faces a charge of use of a communication facility in the commission of a drug felony.
Following her Tuesday arrest, Meyer was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
She’s held on a $45,000 bond.
