(KAIR)--A fugitive is in custody despite her alleged attempt to hide from authorities in the attic of a Horton residence.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, said 25-year-old Chelsea Finch, of Hiawatha, was arrested Thursday following the execution of a search warrant at 150 West 14th Street.

Morse said Finch was taken into custody after she was found hiding in the attic.

A 23-year-old Horton resident, Dylan Thomas, was also arrested by Horton Police for felony interference with law enforcement.

Finch was transported to the Jackson County Jail where Morse said she allegedly trafficked methamphetamine into the facility.

Finch faces charges of trafficking contraband into a correctional facility, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

She's also held on two Jackson County warrants.

She remains jailed on a bond of $50,000.

The Horton Police Department and the Brown County Sheriff's Office assisted with the investigation and the apprehension of Finch.
