Woman Charged With Possession of Array of Rx Drugs

A woman stopped initially for a motor vehicle infraction on Greeley Street was arrested Sunday on drug possession and operating under the influence charges.

Violet Snow, 49, of 176 Amherst Road in Merrimack, was arrested early Sunday morning, after police pulled her 1994 Toyota Corolla over on Greeley Street, near Daniel Webster Highway and noticed signs of alcohol impairment, according to police.

After a brief investigation, she was arrested for operating under the influence of liquor.  

While Snow was being processed at the police station, she was found to be in possession of "an array" of prescription drugs she did not hold a prescription for. She was charged with possession of a prescription drug without prescription – a narcotic, three counts of possession of a prescription drug without a prescription – controlled, and possession of marijuana and transporting a narcotic drug. 

Because one drug was a narcotic, her charge was upgraded to a felony. 

She was placed on $7,500 personal recognizance bail and ordered to appear in the 9th Circuit District Court in Merrimack on Aug. 19 to answer to the charges.
