A White Cottage woman that was booked into the jail following her arrest on an outstanding warrant attempted to conceal contraband in an orifice during her jail booking.

Angela Gibson, 37, pleaded guilty Monday morning to one third-degree felony count of illegal conveyance of drugs and two fifth-degree felony counts of possession of drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamine.

According to the facts of the case, which were presented during Gibson’s plea hearing, the woman was apprehended by police on March 6.

An officer with the Zanesville Police Department observed Gibson in her vehicle parked at the Marathon on Underwood Street. She was taken to jail due to her outstanding warrant, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John Litle said in court.

Upon the officer taking Gibson to jail, Litle said she was informed that all contraband was prohibited from entering the jail.

When the corrections officer was preparing Gibson to book into the jail, she observed an object in Gibson’s vaginal area.

The officer asked Gibson, who refused, to remove the object before eventually removing it herself.

Gibson advised the officer that she had previously swallowed the baggie, which was found to encase drugs, and that’s how it ended up in her vagina.

“And I don’t think that’s how it got there,” Litle said.

The State and Gibson’s defense attorney recommended that she be placed on community control.

Gibson is being held on a $50,000 pending sentencing.
