NEW YORK (WABC) -- Former madam and New York City comptroller candidate Kristin Davis has been arrested for allegedly selling prescription drugs.

She is due in federal court later Tuesday.

Davis is accused of selling prescription pills containing controlled substances, including oxycodone for cash.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: "As alleged, Kristin Davis sold dangerous and highly-addictive prescription pills to a known drug dealer on repeated occasions in exchange for cash. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in this country, resulting in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined, and this Office has a zero tolerance policy towards anyone who helps to spread this plague at any level."
