An Orange City woman faces a felony drug charge after the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy found illegal drugs while arresting her on an outstanding warrant Friday, November 6th.
The sheriff’s office says a deputy on patrol saw 20-year-old Angelina Julie Nelson outside an Orange City residence around 4:45 p.m. The deputy knew Nelson had an active arrest warrant from Plymouth County.
According to the sheriff’s office, Nelson resisted when the deputy attempted to arrest her and was found in possession of illegal drugs.
Nelson was taken to the Sioux County Jail on the warrant and charged with possession of fentanyl with intent to deliver, a Class C felony. She also faces two counts of possession of a controlled substance, second offense, both aggravated misdemeanors, along with possession of drug paraphernalia and interference with official acts, both simple misdemeanors.
At last report, Nelson was being held in the Sioux County Jail on a $32,000 cash or surety bond.
The Orange City Police Department assisted the sheriff’s office.
