SPRINGFIELD - Detectives were about to arrest a woman on drug charges Wednesday when they found an instructional video in her living room closet.

"How to Make Money Selling Drugs," was the title of the DVD, according to an arrest report from a police raid at 82 Malden St.

Dominique A. Rhodes, 35, was charged after police seized crack cocaine, cash and drug packaging material from her third-floor apartment.

On Thursday, she pleaded innocent distributing crack cocaine and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine during her arraignment in Springfield District Court.

During a bail hearing, Assistant District Attorney Jill O'Connor said police seized three bags of crack cocaine, $85 dollars and drug paraphernalia from the defendant's apartment.

Before the raid, police had received complaints from neighbors and a tip from an informant about drug activity in the apartment, O'Connor said.

They also arrested a man leaving the apartment with crack cocaine shortly before the raid, the prosecutor said.

Loud music was playing inside the apartment when police arrived, according to the arrest report. Rhodes ran out the back door, but was secured on the rear porch before the search began, the report said.

Crack cocaine was found on the kitchen table and a bedroom dresser; a cell phone, scale, packaging material and instructional DVD on how to profit from the drug trade was also seized, according to the report.

Text messages documenting several crack cocaine transactions were later recovered from the phone, the report said.

Court records indicate that Rhodes is unemployed and has a criminal record, though no charges, dates or details are mentioned.

During her arraignment, Judge William Hadley set bail at $2,000 cash and scheduled a pretrial hearing for July 8.

By late afternoon, Rhodes posted bail and was released pending trial.
