She turned herself in to the Loudon County Sheriff and was arrested on a warrant for felony possession of cocaine on November 14, 2017. She was released on $5000 bond.
Police had allegedly found traces of narcotics in her personal belongings.
"The 44-year-old – who has accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting her – claimed the warrant was part of a conspiracy to silence her."
“Are they trying to silence me? There is a warrant out for my arrest in Virginia. What a load of HORSES—,” she tweeted.
[When was the warrant entered into the National Database?]

"McGowan reportedly reached a $100,000 settlement with Weinstein after an encounter in a hotel room with the executive producer in 1997 during the Sundance Film Festival."
"McGowan starred in the 1996 film Scream, executive produced by Weinstein and his brother, Bob."
McGowan's tweet regarding Weinstein's troubles:
"I want to buy the movie rights" – October 4, 2017
After the New York Times revealed she was part of a settlement with Weinstein:
"Women fight on. And to the men out there, stand up. We need you as allies. #bebrave" – Oct 5, 2017

Weinstein:
"A longtime Democratic donor, he hosted a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in his Manhattan home last year. He employed Malia Obama, the oldest daughter of former President Barack Obama, as an intern this year, and recently helped endow a faculty chair at Rutgers University in Gloria Steinem’s name. During the Sundance Film Festival in January, when Park City, Utah, held its version of nationwide women’s marches, Mr. Weinstein joined the parade."
"Dozens of Mr. Weinstein’s former and current employees, from assistants to top executives, said they knew of inappropriate conduct while they worked for him."
"…most of the women accepting payouts agreed to confidentiality clauses prohibiting them from speaking about the deals or the events that led to them."
"most of the women involved in the Weinstein agreements collected between roughly $80,000 and $150,000"

"McGowan, 44, was indicted by a grand jury on a class-5 felony charge of possession of a controlled substance" June 11 2017
"However, her arrest warrant didn't come to light for another nine months — and not until after the publication of two bombshell reports detailing decades of sexual misconduct by disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan has accused of raping her.
The timing led McGowan's lawyers to suggest the drugs may have been planted by agents hired by Weinstein to discredit her for making sexual assault accusations against him. Days before her Nov. 14 arraignment, The New Yorker published a story by Ronan Farrow detailing how Weinstein employed former Israeli intelligence officers to keep tabs on his accusers and the journalists who might be talking to them."
Jim Hundley is McGowan's lead attorney in the Virginia case.
Two day jury trial set for Jan 14-15, 2019
