Detectives arrested a 31-year-old woman at a home at Worrigee about 9.15am on Wednesday, December 30.
She was taken to Nowra Police Station and charged with supplying a prohibited drug, corruptly receiving benefit, misconduct as a public office holder, recklessly dealing with proceeds of crime (money/property) and knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime.
