Charges in the five-count felony warrant include delivery of a controlled substance causing death, delivery of heroin, possession with the intent to deliver amphetamine, possession of heroin, and possession of analogues. The charges have a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Her arraignment in the 57th District Court was held Friday. Bond was set at $20,000.

Ashbrook reportedly was spotted by a man who claims she assaulted him in a car near Leonard Street and Alpine Avenue.
