SHERIFF'S DAUGHTER FACES DRUG CHARGES

The adult daughter of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was booked into the
Pima County jail Wednesday on drug charges.

Mary Louise Alvarez Dupnik, 40, was arrested on suspicion of unlawful
possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of a dangerous drug,
unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and an unrelated failure to
appear on a charge of having a suspended license, according to the
jail. She was booked into the jail the same day a search warrant was
served at a Midtown hotel room where methamphetamine, cocaine,
marijuana, a scale, syringes, pipes and counterfeit money were
seized, according to court documents filed Friday.

Tucson police would not provide any details Saturday about the
incident. Less than three years ago, Mary Dupnik was arrested on a
drug paraphernalia charge after police were called to a South Side
motel for reports of yelling and banging coming from a room,
according to Arizona Daily Star archives.

Inside the room officers found marijuana and a pipe, archives show.
Authorities said that inside Dupnik's purse they found 17 syringes, a
blood-stained "tie band," bandages, antiseptic wipes, a metal spoon
and a container with white powdery residue.

At that time, Sheriff Dupnik said he had not been in contact with his
daughter for many months.

He was not available for comment Friday, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a
Pima County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.

Mary Dupnik, who listed an address in Tombstone, remained in custody
Saturday evening; bond was set at $1,200.
