Portsmouth, Ohio
A woman arrested in southern Ohio for the 70th time made a rookie mistake and tried to smuggle meth into the jail.
Officers took a woman into custody for an open warrant during a traffic stop on Robinson Avenue at 11:33 am.
Police dropped her off at the jail where she managed to get into even more trouble when jail personnel discovered drugs in her bra. She admitted to an officer it was ice (meth).
Jail staff planned to file charges against her for bringing drugs into the facility. As it was Adrienne Logan’s 70th arrest, you’d think she’d know they search you pretty well when they book you.
The court ordered her release without bond the next day.
