On January 20, the Hollywood star forgot personal possessions on a flight with destination Washington Dulles International Airport. The police intercepted the belongings and tested them for narcotics. The results came back positive.
As a result, the police expect McGowan to present herself in front of the court in Loudoun County, Va. A national law enforcement database has also recorded an entry with her name.

In response to this uncovered arrest warrant, McGowan turned to Twitter to ask a question “Are they trying to silence me?” It is not clear if the actress referred to the warrant itself or to the fact that this incident appeared on media. The document was released months before Weinstein’s sexual abuses were made public.
