A 33-year-old woman arrested for drug possession died at a Brooklyn courthouse Sunday after repeatedly suffering withdrawal symptoms that sent her back-and-forth from the hospital, the NYPD and law enforcement sources said. Zamiqua Miller – who had three active arrest warrants – was arrested late Friday for alleged possession of heroin, crack cocaine and a crack pipe, according to police sources.   Between Saturday morning and evening, Miller was transported twice to local hospitals for withdrawal symptoms, and each time returned to Brooklyn Central Booking on Schermerhorn Street near Smith Street upon release, the sources said.
