WHITESBURG, Ky. — Police searching for a wanted woman found her and arrested her friend too, after allegedly finding them with a large amount of meth.

Breanna Jean Hall, 24, of Jenkins, was wanted for flagrant nonsupport and Whitesburg Police got a tip Tuesday afternoon that she could be found at a game room adjacent to a pizza place in Whitesburg.

Police found her sitting at a game and placed her under arrest, then searched the purse sitting on the game in front of her. When they found nearly 35 grams of meth inside the purse, Hall then said the purse wasn’t hers, but belonged to her friend, Brittany Looney, 35, of Whitesburg, who was sitting next to her.

Looney reportedly admitted that the purse belonged to her, but said Hall had been using it for the past week.

Both women were arrested and charged with meth trafficking. They are each being held in the Letcher County Jail on $35,000 cash bonds.
