When Aspen police officers found Brooke Mueller allegedly in possession of between 4 and 5 grams of cocaine early Saturday morning, she told them she had not been using the drug, according to a source familiar with the case.
The source, who asked not to be identified, said Mueller told police she had the cocaine so she could “impress her friends” and share it with them. She also poked the arresting officer in the chest to emphasize her point, the source said.
By telling police she was sharing the cocaine with her friends, Mueller, 34, of Los Angeles, faces one felony charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
She also faces one misdemeanor count of assault, following an altercation at the Belly Up nightclub in downtown Aspen, where she allegedly struck another woman. Police, responding to a complaint from the alleged victim at Belly Up, tracked Mueller down at the Escobar nightclub, in the Hyman Avenue pedestrian mall.
