An arrest warrant has been issued for Rose McGowan in relation to drug charges.
The actress’s arrest warrant is for felony possession of a controlled substance.
According to the Associated Press, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department launched an investigation after they reportedly found traces of narcotics in Rose’s personal belongings.
Rose’s belongings were left behind on a flight arriving at the Washington Dulles International Airport on Jan. 20.
A spokesperson, Rob Yingling, told Deadline that investigators believe the personal belongings were Rose’s.
“Our police have attempted to contact Ms. McGowan so that she can appear in a Loudoun County Virginia court to respond to the charge,” Yingling said.
The news of Rose’s warrant surfaced as she took to Twitter to speak out about it.
The actress claimed the warrant was a way to silence her.

The news comes after the actress claimed that she was raped by Harvey Weinstein.
On Friday she spoke at the The Women’s Convention in Detroit, and said that she had “been silenced for 20 years” by the Hollywood producer.
“I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut-shamed. I have been harassed. I have been maligned and you know what? I’m just like you,” she said.
“What happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in society and it cannot stand and it will not stand.”
