?A Uniontown woman allegedly found in possession of drugs following a raid at her home April 5 waived all charges against her to Fayette County Court Tuesday.
Uniontown police Officer Jamie Holland said Christie Lee Varney, 30, of 208 Prospect St. was charged before Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros with possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Varney waived all charges against her to court during a preliminary hearing before Metros Tuesday afternoon.

Holland said that officers found three plastic bags of cocaine in Varney’s purse, with a total weight of more than 6 grams.
The street value of the drugs confiscated is estimated at $600, police said.
Varney was taken into custody without incident, police said.
Holland said that other members of the drug task force and Uniontown police officers assisted in the raid.
