A woman who was charged last month with drug possession has allegedly been caught with drugs in the Johnson County Jail.
Cristine Klein, 31, of Davenport was charged Monday with posession of a contraband in a correctional facility, a felony.
As of Wednesday, Klein was being held at the Johnson County Jail on $25,000 cash profited to the courts and $7,500 cash or surety bail.
According to reports, officials allegedly found methamphetamine on Klein after she was strip-searched at the jail. During an interview, Klein reportedly admitted she got the meth into her cell block by placing it inside her vagina.
Klein said she was “too scared” to tell anyone and was going to flush the drugs but reportedly ended up ingesting a small portion of the meth in her cell, then hid the rest in her bra.
Police charged Klein last month with possession of marijuana and meth after officers searched her vehicle while she was driving. Klein later allegedly attempted to flush 20 pseudoephedrine pills down a police-station toilet.
Possession of a contraband in a correctional facility is a Class D felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $7,500.
