Medford, Ore. — The woman charged with murder in the Ruch shooting of her uncle in the summer of 2016 — and made national news earlier this fall because she’s starring in a Southern Oregon independent horror movie made after the homicide — was arrested on a new felony charge accusing her of sneaking drugs into jail.
Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed, 30, of Jacksonville, who has been held in the Jackson County Jail since September 2018 in the murder of her maternal uncle, Shane Patrick Moore, was arrested Thursday on new felony charges of supplying contraband and possessing heroin, jail records show.
Details behind the drug arrest were not immediately available Thursday evening, and charges had not yet been filed in Jackson County Circuit Court. Under Oregon law, the Class C Felony crime of supplying contraband applies in either a situation where someone brings in contraband such as illicit drugs into a correctional facility, or in situations where corrections deputies find an inmate in possession of contraband.
Moore-Reed is an Ashland High School and University of Southern California graduate who has written multiple books, reported for the Grants Pass Daily Courier and blogged under the pen name “Tucker Reed.” She was the subject of Washington Post, People magazine and New York Post reports back in October after filmmakers behind the locally produced thriller movie “From the Dark” announced that Moore-Reed was their lead actress, using a stage name of “Wyn Reed.”
Her murder case is still pending. A two-week trial is currently scheduled to run from May 4 through 15, court records show.
