Nicole Clem, 29, of 9028 Park St., Orchard Island, Lakeview, was charged with possession of drugs and resisting arrest as a result of an incident Monday morning at her residence.
Officers of the Washington Township Police Department were dispatched to her address about 11:15 a.m. to assist the Adult Parole Authority with a check on a parolee.
While officers with the APA checked the residence, an unlabeled pill bottle containing several pills was observed in plain view.
Officers of the Washington Township Police Department obtained a search warrant for the bedroom belonging to Clem, where 16 gabapentin pills were recovered for which she did not have a prescription.
Clem was advised she was under arrest and she had to be asked several times to hand her small child to a family member. Her own family members assisted officers in urging her not to involve the child so she could be taken into custody.
She was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
