McGowan drug case to proceed

- — Christie D’Zurilla

A judge on Monday rejected Rose McGowan’s request to dismiss a felony drug charge against her, which means the cocaine possession case will move forward.

The court found insufficie­nt evidence to support the actress’ claim that cocaine was planted in her lost wallet by operatives of Harvey Weinstein who allegedly were trying to silence her rape claims against the former studio head, according to celebrity-news outlet the Blast.

McGowan, who has pleaded not guilty, said she misplaced the wallet on a red-eye flight that arrived at Dulles Internatio­nal Airport in early 2017. She was on her way to the Jan. 21 Women’s March on Washington.
