(KNZA)--An Atchison woman arrested last week in Brown County in now facing additional drug-related charges.

Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says 27-year-old Jessica Mottin is facing additional charges of distributing contraband into correctional facility, trafficking contraband into a correctional facility, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia stemming from an alleged incident in the Brown County Jail over the weekend.

Mottin and 32-year-old St. Joseph resident Simon Pohl were arrested last Thursday night after a Brown County Sheriff’s deputy noticed a vehicle pull off to the side of the road in the vicinity of Kestrel and 300th Roads and turn its lights off.

Upon further investigation by the deputy, it was determined the vehicle and license plate were both stolen from Leavenworth County. Both occupants, who gave false names, were taken into custody and transported to the Brown County Jail.

Mottin was arrested on two counts of possession of stolen property and felony obstruction along with three drug-related charges. It was also learned she was wanted on a $2,500 Shawnee County warrant for trafficking contraband into a correctional facility.

Pohl was arrested on two counts of possession of stolen property, felony obstruction and possession of meth. It was also learned Pohl was wanted on a Leavenworth County warrant for criminal use of explosives and possession of meth.
