After watching surveillance videos, investigators linked probationary officer Allison Meadows to the allegation.
Meadows was questioned by Office of Professional Review Investigators on November 21, 2017.
During the questioning, Meadows pulled a grayish power-like substance that was wrapped in plastic from her pants pocket.
