Police arrested Carver on new charges of possession of meth and drug paraphernalia and the outstanding warrant.

When Officers Steven Britten and Michael Bargo arrived, they walked up to the side door and saw Carver standing in the garage, and she was detained. During a search of her person, police found a glass smoking pipe containing crystal meth. She told police the jacket she was wearing was a friend’s and she didn’t know the pipe was in the pocket.
