“I AM SENDING A SPECIAL DELIVERY BEHIND BARS”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AUTHORITIES SAY A LOUISVILLE WOMAN TRIED TO SNEAK DRUGS INTO THE METRO CORRECTIONS FACILITY FOR AN INMATE JAILED ON A MURDER CHARGE… AND NOW FACES A STRING OF CHARGES OF HER OWN.
A 43-year-old Louisville woman is in custody following an alleged attempt to smuggle contraband into the local jail.
Authorities say Kimberly Stayton tried to sneak narcotics into the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
The illicit delivery was allegedly intended for an inmate currently locked up on a murder charge.
The investigation began after jail officials intercepted a suspicious envelope addressed to an inmate housed at the facility.
Then, investigators searched the intercepted mailing.
According to court records, investigators found 21 strips of Suboxone inside the package.
Authorities say the envelope was intended for 40-year-old Jesse Galloway.
Galloway is currently jailed in connection with the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Jaqurius “Cory” Bettison.
