EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

The Sheriff's Office says a tip from a 14 News viewer lead to the arrest of a Warrick County woman.

Detectives at the Warrick County Sheriff's Office arrested Rosie Lynn Monroe at Deaconess Hospital. They say she was on her way to visit her new grandchild at the women's hospital.

Detectives say she had prescription drugs and three grams of the synthetic drug nicknamed "bath salts."

Monroe was wanted for questioning in Warrick County after the Sheriff's Office conducted a search warrant at her home and found a coffee grinder used to grind psuedoephedrine pills, foils, batteries and other meth making materials.

Friday, she was charged with dealing and possession of a controlled substance.

Her bond was revoked because she is also wanted in Spencer County.
