HUTCHINSON — A Kansas woman was arrested on warrants, but also new charges after a Hutchinson Police Officer stopped her just after 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The officer spotted Jessica Cox, 33, Hutchinson, and knew she was wanted on several warrants.

During the arrest, officers discovered she had a leather jacket that contained items consistent with drug use.

She was carrying bags of methamphetamine and some prescription drugs. Offices also found a black scale and a container with a liquid she apparently used for tests to see if she’s under the influence, according to police.

She faces charges including possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute and possession of the prescription drugs.

Total bond in the case against Cox is set at $24,000. She is expected back in court next week once the state files formal charges.

Cox has been on community corrections for convictions for two counts of theft and two counts of introducing contraband into a correctional facility. She has been listed as an absconder from corrections since Dec. 16, that according to the Kansas Department of Corrections website.
