NEVADA, Mo. (AP) A woman has been charged with trying to smuggle drugs to an inmate at a southwest Missouri jail inside a Bible.
The Kansas City Star reports that Ashley Despain, of Nevada, Missouri, was charged this week with delivery or possession of a controlled substance in a jail. No attorney is listed for Despain in online court records. Bond is set at $5,000.
Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher says putting drugs inside a Bible is the wrong kind of help.
