A 59-year-old Butler woman is accused of selling narcotic painkillers that were prescribed to her.

Renee L. Simons was arraigned Tuesday on felony and misdemeanor drug charges. She is being held in the Butler County Prison on $15,000 bail.

A routine home check by Butler County probation officers about 1:15 p.m. Friday turned up the suspected drugs and contraband at Simons’ apartment in the 300 block of West North Street, according to court documents.

Police were notified and learned that the probation officers had found an assortment of evidence in her bedroom. Among the items were hypodermic needles, drug cooking spoons and several empty stamp bags of suspected heroin.

Also seized were two prescription pill bottles in Simons’ name. One bottle, documents said, had been filled July 26 with 180 oxycodone pills, an opioid painkiller.

But in the bottle, police only found 37 of the pills. The same bottle contained 17 stamp bags of suspected heroin.

The label on the second bottle, documents said, showed it had been filled July 27 with 60 oxymorphone tablets, also a potent pain medication.

But when they checked it, officers found 18 of the tablets as well as nine clonazepam pills, which are primarily prescribed to treat anxiety disorders.

Near both bottles was $549 in currency.

Additionally, documents said, the search turned up an opened box of sandwich baggies, which are commonly used to package drugs; “owe sheets,” which are commonly used to record drug transactions; and a dosage of the heroin antidote drug naloxone.

“Based on the amount of medication missing, the money and the baggies,” Patrolman Jason Gueck said in his affidavit, “it is officer’s belief that Simons is selling her medication.”

Simons is charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
