A Russell Springs woman was arrested on possession of methamphetamine and other charges in Columbia over the weekend, according to the Columbia Police Department.
Police were dispatched to what was initially a vehicle complaint at Dollar Tree on Will Walker Lane on Saturday afternoon and upon arrival, were told a female had ran through the store and out the back door as officers arrived.
The subject, identified as Nicolette Hare, 30, of Russell Springs, was located soon thereafter and while police were speaking with her, it was determined she was under the influence and she taken into custody.
After being transported to Adair Regional Jail, Hare was found by jail staff to be concealing suspected methamphetamine.
She was charged with public intoxication, promoting contraband, and possession of methamphetamine. She was also served three active warrants.
Columbia Police Officer Joey Keith made the arrest. He was assisted by Officer Kevin Atwood and Adair Regional Jail staff.
