A Washington woman was arrested on drug charges last week.

On Feb. 16, investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit arrested Margie Lee Roberson, 55, of 708 James Drive in Washington. Roberson was charged with two counts of possession with intent to sell and deliver oxycodone, two counts of possession of oxycodone and possession of paraphernalia.

Roberson’s arrest warrants stemmed from investigators making purchases of oxycodone pills from Roberson. Investigators arrested Roberson for selling the pills. She was searched and oxycodone pills were found hidden in her bra.

Roberson was confined in the Beaufort County Detention Center under a $12,500 secured bond.
