I'm going to tell myself the bags were tucked into her bra. And if you say anything different I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears and go "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

She should be glad she didn't get them down. Wouldn't that result in an overdose?

Is that the chick who tried to blame the tattooist for tattooing her face with multiple stats without consent?

Root, Tiffany Leigh

Tiffany still has a pending case for drugs

She does not appear to stay out of trouble she had been arrested for Terroristic Threats, Prostitution, Assault, Robbery, DUI, Endangering Welfare of Children,and Multiple Drug Charges.

A majority of these cases only resulted in probation.

That means she doesn't have a job or own a house. She gets probation cause the state doesn't want to support her.

Thoughtful conclusion. She's likely stuck in a cycle of mental illness and poverty, and the state isn't willing to ensure real help for troubled individuals, so shoo shoo, bye now, don't let us catch you hurt yourself or others again, okay?
