A 36-year-old New Albany woman was arrested Wednesday, accused of dealing hydrocodone.
Laura L. Wilburn, of the 1600 block of Dewey Street, was arrested at her home at about 6:30 p.m., following an investigation by the New Albany Police Department’s FLEX unit. A search warrant was executed at the residence, according to an NAPD press release.
Wilburn faces preliminary charges of dealing a controlled substance, a class B felony, maintaining a common nuisance, a class D felony, and possession of paraphernalia, a class A misdemeanor. She is being held in the Floyd County Jail awaiting an initial hearing in Floyd County Superior Court No. 3.
NAPD Capt. Keith Whitlow said the drug investigation is unrelated to an armed robbery that occurred on the same block of Dewey Street on Tuesday.
