A drug trafficking ring was recently discovered by authorities in Warren County. Jaime Meyers 28 of Selkirk, along with a husband and wife from Chestertown are behind bars. Authorities recently found these three people working together. Officials say that Janice Jeremias and husband Gerald Jeremias who work as pharmacy technicians at Brooks Pharmacy in Chestertown, are accused of stealing prescription painkillers. They then would give them to Jaime Meyers to sell. Meyers would give the couple cocaine and money in return and would sell the pills to friends.

Authorities started to keep tabs on Jeremias last year when the pharmacy noticed pills were missing. They gave her a lie detector test which she passed, but it wasn’t until recently she was caught. Warren County District Attorney Kate Hogan says, “It turns out the woman who passed the polygraph had in fact been stealing the hydrocodone for a year and a half and they have her on video”.
