Level 57 Taco Wizard
A Polk County sheriff's deputy arrested a Des Moines woman last week for bringing drugs into a jail.
A bag of methamphetamine fell out of the pants Debra Ann Sly, 56, was wearing when she turned herself into the Polk County Jail for outstanding warrants last week, earning her a new charge, according to documents on Iowa Courts Online.
Sly, of the 800 block of 18th Street in Des Moines, reported to the jail last week because a warrant has been issued for her arrest March 27. She'd failed to appear for a disposition bond hearing after violating a no-contact order, court records show.
Sly apparently thought she'd do the right thing and turn herself in, but it ended up going horribly wrong, sheriff's deputies allege.
"During the intake process, a small clear plastic baggy containing a white crystalline substance fell out of her pants onto the booking room floor," according to a criminal complaint filed by a Polk County sheriff's deputy. "The approximate weight of the substance was .4 grams, and the substance field-tested positive for methamphetamine."
