An Izard County woman has been arrested for attempting to bring a controlled substance into the Arkansas Department of Corrections North Central Unit in Calico Rock.
According to the probable cause affidavit, 43-year-old Angela Gwen Knight was at the prison facility for visitation when she failed passing through the metal detector and was taken to a designated area for further examination. During the search, law enforcement discovered a cellophane baggie containing one and half white pills believed to be hydrocodone.
Knight was transported to the Lawrence Blackley Detention Facility in Melbourne for processing and further investigation. Initial inspection of the evidence identified the pills as Acetaminophen and Hyrdocodone Bitartrate having a gross combined weight of less than two grams. The evidence is being sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for analysis.
Knight is charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance and furnishing, possessing, or using prohibited articles and is currently being held at the Izard County Detention Center on $10,000 bond.
