WISCASSET (AP) — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says it has charged a 45-year-old woman with attempting to smuggle drugs into a county jail for two inmates, one of whom is being held on a murder charge.
Police say Faylene Bronn of Litchfield had four oxycodone pills in a deflated balloon in her possession when she arrived Saturday at the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
MDEA Supervisor James Pease said the plan was for Bronn to drop the balloon on the floor during a visit and have 25-year-old Earl "Buddy" Bieler pick it up and swallow it. Bieler is awaiting trial for the April 19 stabbing death of Rachel Grindal in Waldoboro.
Bronn, Bieler and fellow inmate Jeffrey Richards of Dresden were charged with trafficking in prison contraband.
