A Sonora woman out of jail after being arrested last month on suspicion of selling drugs allegedly is at it again, authorities said.

Jennifer Gower, 28, was arrested Wednesday night on various charges in connection with selling drugs, according to Chief Mark Stinson of the Sonora Police Department.

Last month, Gower was released from jail on her own recognizance after her Aug. 14 arrest for alleged sale of narcotics.

This week, officers received information that she was selling drugs again.

On Wednesday night, officers performed a search of her Barretta Street apartment and discovered methamphetamine, marijuana, bags of prescription pills, pipes to smoke methamphetamine, other drug paraphernalia and “indicators” she was dealing drugs, Stinson said.

That she was on probation and-or out of jail on her own recognizance give officers the ability to conduct the search, Stinson said.

Gower was taken to the Tuolumne County Jail and booked for;

— Felony possession of a controlled substance

— Felony committing a crime while out on own recognizance

— Felony violation of probation

— Misdemeanor possession of narcotic paraphernalia

— Misdemeanor possession of prescription medications without a prescription

— Misdemeanor possession of marijuana
