HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local woman was jailed for distribution of drugs after the police searched her residence Tuesday in the 1500 block of North Washington.

Minnie Widener is jailed for suspicion of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute within a thousand feet of a school, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

According to statements made in court, Widener had a bag of meth in her bra at the time of the search. More small bags of meth and a scale were found in a bedroom.

Her son spoke in court and said she is disabled. Her son’s comments led Judge Joe McCarville to believe Widener was selling drugs to support herself.

Bond was set at $18,000. Widener will be back in court next week.
