LOS ANGELES— A police officer arrested last week for alleged drunken driving was charged Thursday with manufacturing the “date-rape” drug GHB, prosecutors said. 

Officer Heather Sinock, 25, was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence after she arrived for work last Friday at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Rampart station near downtown. 

Prosecutors said the GHB and other drug charges were filed after a search of her home and car. The three-year veteran of the department was jailed Wednesday in lieu of $600,000 bail. 

Deputy District Attorney Valerie A. Rocha said Sinock was charged Thursday with manufacturing and transporting GHB and possessing cocaine and methamphetamine, all felonies. She also was charged with driving under the influence, a misdemeanor. 

Sinock, who faces up to 13 years in prison if convicted, was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday.
