According to the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office, 39-year-old Amy Zenor was arrested on November 10, after authorities were notified of a person who was believed to be intoxicated inside the courthouse.
Upon investigation, it was determined that person was Zenor who was subsequently charged with public intoxication, a simple misdemeanor.
The Sheriff’s Office said Zenor was released to her own attorney due to “safety concerns of placing her in jail.”
