An arrest warrant for felony possession of a controlled substance has been issued for actress Rose McGowan, who is one of dozens of women who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.

The felony charge stems from a police investigation of personal belongings left behind on a United flight arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport on January 20.

Police say the items tested positive for narcotics, but they did not reveal what type of drugs they were. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department obtained the warrant on February 1.

Police say they've attempted to contact McGowan so she can appear in a Loudoun County, Virginia, court.

The warrant has been entered into a national law enforcement database.

McGowan had not released a statement regarding the warrant as of Monday night.

But she simply tweeted 'FACT' early Tuesday morning in a retweet suggesting that if she had 'taken the million dollars in hush money' from Weinstein, the warrant would not have been issued and not been a news story.

McGowan retweeted Ashlee Marie Preston‏ who wrote: 'If @rosemcgowan would have taken that million dollars in hush money I'm quite sure this wouldn't even be a headline...'

She was alluding to a New York Times interview where she claims she was offered $1million by someone close to Weinstein in return for signing a nondisclosure agreement.

The 44-year-old actress also tweeted earlier on Monday claiming that there was a warrant for her arrest, but police would not confirm the details at the time.

'Are they trying to silence me? There is a warrant out for my arrest in Virginia. What a load of HORSES**T.,' she tweeted.

At the time, the Charmed star did not elaborate on why the warrant had been issued or what crime she had been accused of.

She has been one of the leading voices against sexual harassment in Hollywood.

McGowan, 44, was allegedly raped by Weinstein at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997, and the Times reported that she received a $100,000 settlement in the wake of the incident.

She says she only realized that settlement did not include a nondisclosure component this summer, and this month accused the producer of the sexual assault on Twitter.

In the wake of that bravery, other victims and Weinstein's own employees have spoken out as well, despite also signing NDAs. More than 80 women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

Weinstein is now said to be in rehab and his spokeswoman says he 'unequivocally denies any allegations of non-consensual sex.'

While there is no proof of any conspiracy tying her Weinstein allegations to the warrant, it comes just a few days after actor Corey Feldman, who has been working to expose pedophilia in the entertainment industry, was charged for marijuana possession after being pulled over for speeding in Louisiana.

McGowan also weighed in on the Kevin Spacey scandal today after actor Anthony Rapp accused the Oscar winner of trying to seduce him when he was just 14, tweeting 'Bye bye, Spacey goodbye, it's your turn to cry...'
