IOWA, La. — A fire chief is free on bond after her arrest on drug possession charges.
American Press reported that Sandra Miller, 59, with the Iowa Volunteer Fire Department, is currently on suspension following her arrest. Authorities said she illegally purchased pills containing heroin from an online black market pharmacy and had them shipped to her home.
The pills were found to be a combination of heroin, caffeine and cough suppressants.
Miller was arrested and charged with possession of heroin. She was released the next day on a $50,000 bond, according to the report. She has been temporarily relieved of all her duties and responsibilities while officials gather more information.
Assistant Fire Chief Phil Mallett will temporarily act as chief.
