HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson woman arrested while police were investigating another case has been formally charged.

Megan Drach has been charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell and personal use drug paraphernalia.

Police were investigating a robbery from last month and Drach appeared at the Law Enforcement Center for an interview. During that interview, police asked permission to search her vehicle and she declined. But, she did indicate that she had a grinder and also a small amount of marijuana in her vehicle.

Police obtained a search warrant and found the grinder and a pipe, as well as a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle. But, when they searched the trunk, they found two duffel bags that contained a much larger amount of marijuana, about five pounds.

Police Lt. Marty Robertson says they believe she had been dealing drugs and purchased the marijuana in Colorado from a dealer there.

She’s free on bond and her case moves to a waiver-status docket next month.
