(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman is facing drug charges following her arrest last weekend.

According to a report from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, around 6:00 Saturday evening Sheriff's deputies were assisting the Hiawatha Police Department in looking for an individual who was a person of interest in recent criminal activity.

The individual, identified as 60-year-old Donna Cossentine, was located inside a house in the 300 block of Miami Street, and was detained by deputies for Hiawatha Police.

While at the residence, Merchant said Cossentine gave deputies consent to search. Based on evidence found during the search, she was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamines, possession of opiates, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and interference with law enforcement.

Following her arrest, Cossentine was booked into the Brown County Jail.

She was released Monday on a $2,500 own recognizance bond.

According to court documents, Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill filed a complaint Tuesday charging Cossentine with a felony count of possession of meth, along with misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is scheduled to make her first appearance in a Brown County courtroom on November 9th.
