A Leitchfield woman indicted in Butler County on drug and other charges has been charged in Grayson County after deputies serving a warrant found drugs on the suspect.

Wednesday night at approximately 7:15, Grayson County Deputies Erik Franklin, Nick Pruitt and Wally Ritter arrived at 404 East Maple Street in Caneyville where they made contact with the wanted subject, 45-year-old Shannon D. Thomas.

Thomas, according to the arrest citation, was recently indicted by a Butler County Grand Jury for possession of a controlled substance (drug unspecified), tampering with physical evidence and public intoxication (excludes alcohol).

While placing the suspect into custody and during a search of Thomas, deputies located a “bindle of methamphetamine” in her pocket, the citation states.

Thomas was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center where she was additionally charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine).
