A Columbus woman was arrested yesterday morning on a whole host of drug-related charges after she was found sleeping in a car by Bartholomew County deputies.

30-year-old Kyra Miller of Ohio Ridge Road is facing preliminary charges of possession of a controlled substance, heroin, methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and a legend drug injection device.

According to reports from the sheriff’s department, she was found slumped over in the driver’s seat of a vehicle behind a business on U.S. 31 in Taylorsville at just after 8 a.m. yesterday morning.. Deputies said it was hard to wake her and when they opened the car door to shake her, they saw a plastic baggie and two syringes in her hand.

The baggie contained pills, three corner cut baggies with a white powdery substance and three foil packets with a brown powder. A search of the car allegedly revealed paraphernalia including more syringes, scales, foil and additional baggies.

They also allegedly discovered a fake $20 bill when she was taken to the jail.
