An 18-year-old North Platte woman will have extended visiting hours at the Lincoln County Detention Center after she allegedly brought marijuana and methamphetamine into the facility.

On April 12, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received a warrant for Katie Schumacher.

At the time, Schumacher was visiting an inmate at the jail via the Video Visitation System.

Deputies made contact with Schumacher and placed her under arrest for the warrant.

A subsequent search of Schumacher’s bag revealed several items of contraband, including marijuana, suspected methamphetamine, and several pills, later identified as Alprazolam.

As a result, Schumacher was also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of marijuana, less than one ounce.

According to Chief Deputy Roland Kramer, more charges may be added, pending the results of laboratory tests.

Bond for Schumacher has not been set.
