Jailers find meth in Arkansas inmate's pants

JONESBORO — An Arkansas inmate is facing additional jail time after guards say they found nearly $2,000 worth of methamphetamine in her pants.

A Craighead County judge said Monday that there is sufficient evidence to charge the 30-year-old woman with meth possession. She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Craighead County jailers say they discovered 19 grams of meth in baggies during a "shakedown." The woman told them she couldn't remember the name of the inmate who gave her the drugs.

The woman is serving a 120 day sentence for second-degree forgery.
