A 49-year-old woman is behind bars after allegedly trying to smuggle drugs and cigarettes to her son at the Bowie County Jail.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Charlene Ann Johnson and her son, 30-year-old Markel Demorris Sims, were heard on recorded jail calls discussing a drop of contraband near the jail in early January. Investigators say Johnson described a black sock containing methamphetamine, synthetic marijuana — also known as K-2 — and menthol cigarettes.
Jail staff later found the sock containing about point-eight grams of meth and nearly six grams of synthetic marijuana.
Johnson is charged with bringing prohibited substances into a correctional facility. Her bond is set at $30,000. Sims remains jailed on multiple charges.
