A local woman was arrested on multiple drug-related charges after she was found unconscious and slumped over in the driver’s seat of a vehicle behind a Taylorsville business.
Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Deputy Teancum Clark was sent to 10800 N. U.S. 31 in Taylorsville about an unconscious person at 8:03 a.m. Thursday, deputies said. Clark found a silver car behind a business with a woman slumped over in the driver’s seat. After several attempts to wake her, Clark opened the car door and shook her shoulder and saw that she had a plastic baggie with two syringes in her hands, deputies said.
The baggie also contained three pills, three corner baggies with a white powdery substance and three foil packets of a brown powder, deputies said. The woman was identified as Kyra Miller, 30, 5221 Ohio Ridge Road, deputies said.

The jail staff also found a counterfeit $20 bill on Miller when she was booked into jail, deputies said.
