COLUMBUS, Ind. (WISH) — Police say a woman has been arrested after she mailed prescription drugs to her ex-husband’s job.

The Columbus Police Department has arrested 58-year-old Lafern Gibson.

A fourth-month investigation took place after prescription drugs were mailed to a Columbus factory without a return addresss.

Investigators said they caught Gibson mailing packages on four occasions. Schedule IV drugs were sent in two packages, according to investigators.

Investigators say Gibson was upset that her ex-husband had a new girlfriend and she was mailing the drugs to the factory where he worked in order to get him in trouble.

Gibson faces two felony counts of dealing in a schedule IV drug.
