Richmond police spokesman Gene Lepley says Freeman was identified by a K-9 for possible drug possession during a sweep of the school. He says officers then searched her vehicle and discovered marijuana and crack cocaine.

She was booked at Richmond City Jail.

It's unclear if Freeman has an attorney for comment.
