SALEM - A Revere woman police say they caught with a gram of cocaine in her purse at Peabody District Court last month was indicted Friday afternoon by an Essex County grand jury.
Marissa Connors, 33, of 570 Mountain Ave., is charged with trafficking over 14 grams of cocaine as well as unlawful possession of methadone, a Class B substance and unlawful possession of alprazolam, a Class E substance, in connection with her arrest in March.
She was arrested March 10 at Peabody District Court by a state trooper who reportedly had received information that she had illegal drugs on her person.
Authorities say they seized about one-gram of cocaine from her purse.
Police said they then searched her car and seized about 17 grams of cocaine, found in the center console along with other reported illegal drugs.
A conviction on the drug trafficking case carries a minimum mandatory punishment of three years in state prison, with no chance of early parole.
Assistant District Attorney Marsha Slingerland is prosecuting the case for the commonwealth.
Indictments are a legal process that allows cases to be transferred from District Court to Superior Court, allowing for a more severe punishment. It is not an indication of guilt.
