NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A woman who allegedly lost a bag carrying her drugs inside the Times Square subway station was arrested Thursday night when she went to retrieve it, police said.

Kinisha Barrett, 41, was arrested at the station just before 8:30 p.m.

Barrett was busted after telling police the bag was hers and admitting everything inside belonged to her, the Daily News reported.

The NYPD previously said the woman worked for the Administration of Children’s Services, but later determined she was not a city employee.

Police charged her with criminal possession of a weapon and 14 counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance reportedly because the bag included a scalpel and 14 crack pills.
