Woman accused of sending text about drugs to agent

[March 18, 2010]  ALTUS, Okla. (AP) -- A Mangum woman has been arrested for allegedly sending a text message about illegal drugs to a drug task force agent.

A warrant was issued for the woman for possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled drug with the intent to distribute. A Jackson County jailer said Wednesday the woman wasn't in custody.

Authorities said District III Drug Task Force agent Chris Counts received a text message that said, "if you want a hit of this stuff before it is all gone, you better get over here."

Counts sent a message asking for an address and determined that the suspect lived there. Officers said she thought she sent the message to a friend.

Authorities said they found a gun and a powdery substance during a search of the residence.
