Rose McGowan Faces Arrest Warrant For Drugs: Are They Trying To Silence Me?

Source: Huffington Post

Rose McGowan, one of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers in a massive Hollywood sexual misconduct scandal, is in legal hot water.

The 44-year-old actress faces an arrest warrant charging her with felony possession of a controlled substance, a Washington Dulles International Airport spokesman said in a statement emailed to HuffPost on Tuesday.

Police secured the warrant in February after “personal belongings” McGowan left on a Jan. 20 United flight to Dulles “tested positive for narcotics,” Andrew Trull, spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, said in the statement. Authorities didn’t identify the drug.

Media reports of the warrant circulated on Monday.

The police have been "trying to get in touch with her" since then and couldn't for 10 months?! This is BS!

12. How is trace residue on the OUTside of luggage felony possession?

If trace residue is felony possession, then anyone with cash can be charged. There are trace amounts of illicit drugs on just about every paper bill you have handled. Unless they found substantial amounts INside the luggage, they have nothing.

15. get a lawyer. The charge is "Felony possession", she left 'personal belongings' bag? on the plane.

even a prescription medicine in an unmarked bottle can bring these charges. A Lawyer will get her off if that's the charge.
