Lexington County narcotics agents arrested a woman last week after finding meth in her bedroom.

Simonne Chantel Alberti, 49, is charged with possession with intent to distribute meth.

Agents said this charge is considered her 2nd offense due to a previous drug possession conviction.

“Agents followed up on a community tip and obtained a search warrant for a home in the 1000 block of Lawrence Drive,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “In addition to the meth in two plastic bags, agents also found digital scales and grocery bags often used to measure and package drugs for sale.”

“This is a great example of residents serving as our eyes and ears in a community,” Koon said. 

“Arrests like this make a difference and go a long way toward keeping a neighborhood safe.”
