Two women face charges introducing contraband into the jail after they were allegedly caught sending a greeting card  to prisoners with drugs concealed inside.
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, 27-year-old Rebecca Marie Dickens and 53-year-old Tammy Elizabeth Burton mailed cards containing suboxone strips to family members incarcerated at the jail.
Ray said the women mailed a greeting card to prisoners Corey Dickens and Travis Davenport. Corey Dickens is Rebecca Dickens’ husband, and Davenport is Burton's son.
“They tore loose the double backings on the greeting card and put Suboxone strips inside,”  Ray said. “They mailed the cards on March 7, and correctional officers found them when they came into the jail on March 10. We started an investigation into it, and were able to arrest them on March 11 for introducing contraband into a penal institution.”
Both women are under a $2,500 bond, and they will appear in court on April 3.
Meanwhile, John Thomas Mason, 19, was charged with evading arrest by the sheriff's department and for leaving the scene of an accident by a state trooper on March 14.
Ray said a drug detective tried to stop a 2008 Nissan Altima for a traffic violation after observing the driver cross several times into the detective's lane of travel and into the turning lane. As the detective attempted to pull over the automobile on Tiger Drive, it sped away.  The detective terminated the chase on Dry Creek Road, but soon came upon the car resting on its top in the middle of Dry Creek Road.
The driver had apparently fled the scene.
An investigation allegedly revealed that Mason had been driving the car. Ray said Mason later wrote a statement admitting to he was the driver.
The state trooper investigating the crash charged Mason with leaving the scene of an accident.
His bond was set at $4,000, and he will appear in court on March 20.
