Brittany Wood, 36, of Eddington, remains at large, the sheriff's office said. She is charged in the new warrant with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, falsifying physical evidence and violating conditions of release.

According to the sheriff's office, a deputy pulled Wood over on Sunday. During the stop, the deputy seized suspected illegal drugs and intervened to stop Wood from destroying potential evidence tied to the investigation. Over the next two days, authorities said, testing and further investigation confirmed the seized substances were illegal drugs.

Deputies said they made multiple attempts to persuade Wood to turn herself in voluntarily, but those efforts failed, leading to the warrant.

The new charge lands while Wood is already free on bail in a separate and far more serious case. She was arrested in July and later indicted by a Penobscot County grand jury in October on charges of domestic violence aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Those charges stem from a May 31 incident in Eddington in which her 9-month-old daughter reportedly overdosed on cocaine and fentanyl.

Wood had previously been the subject of a public manhunt in that case before her capture. Despite the pending felony charges, she is still listed as a board member on the RSU 63 website. The district serves the communities of Holden, Clifton and Eddington.

The case raises uncomfortable questions for the three-town school district, which has not publicly commented on Wood's status or whether her continued listing on the board reflects her actual role. School board members in Maine are elected local officials, and the process for removing or suspending a member facing serious criminal charges is not automatic.

The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information about Wood's whereabouts to call 207-947-4585.

As with all criminal cases, the charges against Wood are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
