The felony charge stems from a police investigation of personal belongings left behind on a United flight arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport on Jan. 20. Police say the items tested positive for narcotics. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department obtained the warrant on Feb. 1

Police say they've attempted to contact McGowan so she can appear in a Loudoun County, Virginia, court. The warrant has been entered into a national law enforcement database.

McGowan has been one of the leading voices against sexual harassment in Hollywood, and tweeted earlier this month that she was raped by a man with the initials "HW." The Hollywood Reporter said McGowan confirmed she was referring to disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein.


Comment: Considering the offense occurred much earlier in the year and it's only now, since Rose McGowan became prominent in speaking out about her experiences of the depravity in the entertainment industry, the situation is highly suspect. Another celebrity who has been at the forefront of this exposรฉ was also recently charged with drug possession: Corey Feldman arrested for marijuana possession days after tweeting about Hollywood child sex abuse in the wake of Weinstein scandal

One wonders whether this is an attempt to keep silent those who would expose the criminals in Hollywood.

There has been an upsurge in high profile people finally speaking out about the endemic abuse which plagues its ranks. Also see:
