Woman Fails to Appear on Drug Charges

36-year-old Bianca Lee Wilson, the woman linked to an unsolved 2004 homicide, failed to appear on drug charges Wednesday.  A bench warrant was issued for Wilson’s arrest after she missed the appearance scheduled for Yellowstone County Justice Court.

On Nov. 6, Wilson was pulled over for going 44 in a 35 mph zone near Sixth Avenue North and North 10th Street.  The officer who pulled Wilson over suspected she was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol.  When he searched her purse, the officer found a baggie that field tested positive for meth.

The officer took Wilson to the Yellowstone County Detention Facility where she was issued a notice to appear in court, but not booked into jail, according to records.  The Jail Commander said that they almost always has room for felony arrests, but said the women’s population in the jail in early November was over capacity.
