HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 34-year-old woman jailed on drug distribution charges after she was stopped at K-61 and 4th Street has been formally charged.

Police were called for suspicious activity — possibly a drug sale — in a parking lot on East 4th back on July 13. When they arrived, officers made contact with Naomi Driesel and discovered that she had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court for a case in Municipal Court. She was then arrested. After searching her, they reportedly found about 5 grams of methamphetamine. They also found a scale, 100 clear bags, and a glass pipe.

She is now charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute.

Driesel has another case pending where she’s charged with possession of methamphetamine; possession of drug paraphernalia with the intent to manufacture, plant or cultivate a controlled substance, that being methamphetamine; and personal use drug paraphernalia. This case goes back to June 4.

Both cases move to a waiver-status docket on July 26 in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
