A 43-year-old Tucson, Arizona, woman is facing multiple felony charges after a reported incident on March 4 in Concordia.

A police report says an officer responded to a residence to assist medics with an overdosed patient. Central dispatch advised it was informed by the caller that the patient had overdosed on heroin.

Melanie Hilbrenner met officers at the front door. Officers were taken to a man who was unresponsive. They also saw a loaded AR 15 rifle and large knives throughout the house within reach of a 6-year-old child. They also located drug-related items- including methamphetamine and heroin as well as several used syringe needles, two metal spoons with white residue and burn marks and a few baggies containing white residue.

Court documents say Hilbrenner is charged with a Class D Felony for Possession of a Controlled Substance; two counts of a Class D Felony for Endangering the Welfare of a Child; and a Class E Felony for Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Hilbrenner posted $25,000 bond.

A bond-appearance hearing is scheduled to be held at 9 a.m. Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
