The 22-year-old has left her grandfather, who agreed in August to stump up cash for her to be bailed, $5000 out of pocket.
She went on a bizarre social media rant against police on Thursday afternoon, writing that a stint in jail wouldn’t stop her love for drugs.
Kreyts had been found with 12.41 grams of ice, 17 ecstasy pills, an ice pipe and $400 cash during a traffic stop at Lavington on August 18.
She had been due to return to court in Albury on Monday on eight charges, including drug supply.
But the Howlong woman failed to show up, leading to magistrate Tony Murray issuing an arrest warrant.
Police are still searching for her.
“I need a good sleep anyway. Locking me in a jail isn’t going to stop me using drugs.”

She was due to be sentenced on charges including drug supply, possession, and dealing with property suspected of being the proceeds of crime.
Kreyts, a mother of one, later ranted against police on Facebook.
“Fair enough, I have drug problem … big whoop,” she said.
“I love the s---.
“Lock me up, big whoop, it’s not gonna stop me using drugs ya f---wits.
“I need a good sleep anyway. Locking me in a jail isn’t going to stop me using drugs.”
Speaking a few days after her arrest, Kreyts’ lawyer said she had been grappling with a serious ice problem but had had a “significant wake up” when she was charged.
Officers had expressed concerns during the earlier court appearance at the prospect of her being bailed.
Her mother had put herself forward as being suitable to offer a surety.
But there were discrepancies between her evidence in the witness box and information on the court record regarding an assault against police in Corowa, so she was deemed inappropriate.
Kreyts suggested in her rant drug money seized by police could be used to build and fund rehabilitation services.
She has prior history for trafficking cannabis and methamphetamine in Victoria.
