Nashua woman arrested in stolen pills case

NASHUA (AP) — Police are announcing another arrest stemming from a search last month that turned up 322,000 prescription pills believed stolen during a burglary at a pharmaceutical warehouse in Mansfield, Mass., three years ago.

Nashua police say 28-year-old Amanda Patton was arrested Nov. 12 on a warrant charging her with the illegal sale of the drug Klonopin.

Patton is also charged with intent to distribute the drug and with the sale and intent to distribute Xanax.

Police say 7,000 pills were taken from Patton's home. Patton was being held on $100,000 bail.

The earlier search, and the recovery of the 322,000 pills, led to the arrest of 32-year-old Tam Mitchell. In a news release, police said the Patton arrest was related, but gave no additional details.
