Twenty seven year old Andrea Jenkins, a mother of four who tried smuggling 94 grams of cannabis into prison in her underwear, joined her baby’s father in prison today when she appeared in the #6 Magistrate’s Court and pleaded guilty to drug trafficking.
Magistrate Sharon Fraser remanded her into custody until Tuesday, April 13th, when she will decide what sentence to impose. Jenkins was busted around 1 P.M. yesterday when she went to Kolbe Foundation prison in Hattieville to visit her baby’s father who is an inmate.
Prison officer Meisha Mendez did a body search on Jenkins and found a black plastic bag hidden inside the front of her underwear. The bag contained 94 grams of cannabis. Jenkins admitted that she took the cannabis to prison to give to her baby’s father. The offence carries a fine and/or imprisonment; the maximum fine is $10,000.
