State police in the Wappinger barracks said Amanda L. Murphy originally was arrested in May 2015 for possessing a controlled substance and in July 2015 Murphy was arrested for entering Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill with a hypodermic needle containing heroin residue.
State police said she is now wanted on charges of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, promoting prison contraband and possession of a hypodermic instrument.
Murphy's last known address was in the Village of Wappingers Falls, according to Melissa McMorris, a state police spokeswoman.
