A woman in Louisiana is facing drug charges after someone reported her to the authorities for allegedly posting pictures and videos on social media sites depicting her smoking methamphetamine.
According to reports, a 38-year-old woman who lives in Converse, Louisiana, recently created videos and took pictures of herself while allegedly smoking methamphetamine out of a glass pipe. She then allegedly uploaded the content to social networking sites such as Facebook and Snapchat.
It was reported that on Christmas Eve, someone anonymously called the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office and told the authorities that they wanted to let them know about the content. An investigation was opened, and the authorities viewed the content that was reported. They decided to file for a warrant to arrest the suspect and a search warrant to inspect her residence, and they were granted four days later.
Deputies went to the woman’s house, which is a few feet from the Converse School Campus, and they served the warrant. When they began their search, the deputies allegedly found syringes, a glass pipe they believed was used for smoking drugs, and methamphetamine.
The woman was taken into custody and booked into the Sabine Parish Women’s Jail. She is facing several preliminary charges including possession of a schedule II drug, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a school zone, possession of drug paraphernalia, and warrant for possession of a schedule II drug and drug paraphernalia. She was initially held without bond, but according to jail records, she is no longer incarcerated.
The authorities took a screenshot from one of the videos on her Snap Chat that they believed showed the woman smoking meth.
