WASHINGTON: An arrest warrant has been issued for actress Rose McGowan for felony possession of a controlled substance.
“Are they trying to silence me?” McGowan tweeted in response to the warrant for her arrest. “What a load of horses**t”
The felony charge stems from a police investigation of personal belongings left behind on a United flight arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport on Jan. 20, The Associated Press reported. Police said the items tested positive for narcotics. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department obtained the warrant on Feb. 1
Police said they have attempted to contact McGowan so she can appear in a Loudoun County, Virginia, court. The warrant has been entered into a national law enforcement database.
McGowan has been one of the leading voices against sexual harassment in Hollywood, and tweeted earlier this month that she was raped by a man with the initials “HW.” The Hollywood Reporter said McGowan confirmed she was referring to disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein.
In her first public comments since accusing Weinstein of rape, McGowan said Friday she has been “silenced for 20 years” but will not remain quiet about sexual assault and harassment.
On Twitter, McGowan has amassed supporters and urged them to call out harassment using the #RoseArmy hashtag. McGowan has starred in several films, including “Scream,” “Jawbreaker,” and “Planet Terror,” as well as the early 2000s television series “Charmed.”
