An Axis woman was arrested July 27 on possession of drug charges, according to the Atmore Police Department.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that Jennifer Krouter, 44, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

McMann said on the day of the arrest, at approximately 9:15 p.m., APD officers responded to the 500 block of South Main Street in reference to a female knocking on doors of multiple residences.

McMann said the officers made contact with Krouter, and they discovered she was wanted by the Bay Minette Police Department in reference to an active misdemeanor arrest warrant.

“The officers searched Krouter’s handbag, and discovered several dozen suboxone strips and other items that are commonly used to ingest narcotics,” McMann said.

McMann added that Krouter was transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton. The BMPD will be notified by the detention center when Krouter is eligible to be released, he added.
