A Buffalo woman accused of distributing fentanyl inside the Wright County Jail after another inmate overdosed was arrested in Monticello over the weekend after authorities say she repeatedly failed to appear for court hearings in multiple pending criminal cases.

Catelynn Reed, 20, was taken into custody Saturday in Monticello after active bench warrants were issued in two Wright County cases, according to court records. Both warrants were cleared May 17.

During a Monday bail hearing, Judge John Bowen reinstated Reed’s release conditions and increased her conditional bail following the recent failures to appear. Court records now list bail at $20,000 with conditions or $50,000 without conditions.

Reed is currently facing felony third-degree drug sales and fifth-degree drug possession charges, along with a gross misdemeanor charge of introducing contraband into a correctional facility, stemming from an alleged fentanyl distribution incident inside the Wright County Jail earlier this year.

According to the criminal complaint, Wright County deputies responded Jan. 22 to the jail after an inmate overdose prompted an investigation into suspected controlled substance distribution between inmates. Authorities reported finding white powder hidden throughout two jail cells, including inside a Bible, other books, folded paper packets, a shampoo bottle and a deodorant container.

Investigators alleged the powder was mixed into drink powders, including hot chocolate and what jail staff believed was Kool-Aid, leading deputies to suspect inmates were making what the complaint described as “fentanyl cocktails.”

One inmate who overdosed allegedly told investigators Reed had offered her powder later believed to be fentanyl. Jail staff reportedly administered Narcan after the inmate showed signs consistent with an opioid overdose.

The complaint also alleges another inmate witnessed Reed remove substances from books and flush them down a toilet after learning another inmate was overdosing.

Authorities said Reed admitted writing a handwritten note recovered during the investigation, though she denied using controlled substances while in jail.

Court records show all three inmates involved in the incident later tested positive for fentanyl.

The third-degree drug sales charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
