LEBANON - A 69-year-old woman was arrested and charged Wednesday with trying to smuggle marijuana to her son at the Lebanon Correctional Institution.

Mary A. Fugate of Dayton, Ohio faces charges of attempting to convey drugs onto the grounds of a detention facility and possession of criminal tools, both felonies.

She is held at the Warren County jail and will appear today in Lebanon Municipal Court.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers and state prison investigators learned Fugate would try to smuggle drugs into her son during a scheduled visit, patrol officials said.

The woman was arrested after she consented to being searched. Authorities found two balloons containing a total of 10 grams of marijuana.

If convicted, Fugate could face up to five years in prison and a $13,250 fine.

Motherly love...amazing. And he abused it by even ASKING her to do this for him! Of course she should have said HELL NO and kept it moving, but so sad an lady will be going to jail for trying to help her son out. Ugh. Even though it was "just weed", drugs cause a lot of problems in jail. They serve more than just the "addicts" (if there is such thing as being addicted to reefer). This probably saved a lot of fights and problems within the jail by keeping it out. Glad they got caught :wink:
