The Southwest Enforcement Team and Michigan State Police arrested Finley in February after making a drug buy during an an investigation that was prompted by community complaints.
When officers executed a search warrant at her Compton Street home, her four year old son was standing next to her as she attempted to flush items down the toilet.
During the search, officers seized several illegal narcotics including cocaine and a large amount of hydrocodone, which were both packaged, consistent with sale and distribution. Two stolen firearms was also located inside the home, along with digital scales, and five bills used by undercover officers to purchase drugs from Finley.
