A Hudson woman has been arrested a second time in a week after she allegedly brought drugs to her child’s school Monday morning. The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Lenoir Police Department, has announced the arrest of 27-year-old Keaisha Winkler on the following charges: two counts of trafficking opiates, three counts of possession with intent to sell and deliver a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and one count of maintaining a dwelling for the sale of a controlled substance.
The School Resource Officer at Whitnel Elementary was notified by the parent of a student that a bag containing white powder, later identified as 6.7 grams of Fentanyl, was found on school property. Surveillance footage identified the bag as originating from Winkler while she was dropping her child off at school. She was arrested a short time later and a search warrant of her residence on Kristin Lane in Hudson led to the recovery of an additional 59 grams of Fentanyl.
She was placed in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $1 million secured bond and her first appearance is set for Sept. 13 in District Court in Lenoir. Winkler was previously arrested on Sept. 8 for Trafficking Opiates related to a joint Undercover Operation by the Lenoir Police Department and the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office.
