Bowen, 51, was arrested after a Blackshear police officer discovered a break-in at her office.

It's uncertain what was found in the office initially, but Blackshear police called the Georgia Insurance Commission's Fraud Division.

The agency obtained a search warrant for Bowen's office and home. Police said they found baggies of cocaine and marijuana at her home. 

Bowen was booked into the Pierce County Jail, but has since been released on $6,000 bond, according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office website.
