A Minneapolis City Hall worker was charged Monday with selling prescription drugs outside her office.

Lynette Rounds, 55, of Minnetonka is charged in Hennepin County District Court with a felony count of third-degree controlled substance crime. She posted $10,000 bail and was released from the Hennepin County jail on Monday night.

In August, an undercover officer working with an informant met Rounds outside her office on the second floor of City Hall, according to the criminal complaint. With other officers observing them, Rounds gave the undercover officer a plastic bag with 30 Percocet pills in exchange for $165, the complaint said.

According to public records, Rounds was hired in 1986 and has recently been working in the property services division of the Department of Public Works. She is scheduled to appear in Hennepin County District Court at 8:30 a.m. today.
