A Brown County woman was arrested on July 2 after she crashed her car into a mobile home and police later discovered she had a meth pipe and pills without prescriptions.

Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Minor reported that it appeared Loretta Melton, 44, of White Oak Drive, went off the road while driving south on Greasy Creek Road near Wildwood Lane. It appeared Melton had overcorrected and hit a tree before crashing into a mobile home, the accident report says.

In a probable cause affidavit filed July 15, Deputy Austin Schonfeld reported that Melton told police she was not sure what direction she was heading when she crashed. She then gave Deputy Colton Magner consent to search her belongings.

Magner searched a white drawstring bag and reported finding a glass pipe wrapped in a blue towel, the affidavit states.

Melton admitted to smoking meth a week prior, the report said. While searching her purse, Magner reported finding another glass smoking device in a zip-up box.

Inside a used cigarette carton, Magner also reported finding a round orange pill and two smaller pieces of an orange pill which he learned were buprenorphine hyrdocloride, which require a prescription.

On the floorboard of the vehicle, a plastic baggie containing three capsules was found. Those pills also require a prescription, according to the affidavit.

Minor reported finding in a black purse a prescription pill bottle for amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets that were prescribed to someone else.

The report did not say if the officers found any prescriptions.

Melton was taken to the hospital to make sure she was OK before being taken to the Brown County jail. While she was being booked in, a jailer reported finding a small corner baggie with a white crystalline substance that later tested positive for meth in Melton’s possession.

Melton’s vehicle was towed. It is unknown if she was wearing a seat belt, according to the accident report.

On July 15, Melton was formally charged with possession of methamphetamine, a Level 6 felony; and possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.
