\nA local attorney has been arrested for allegedly giving her client documents soaked in synthetic drugs during a meeting Wednesday at the Roederer Correctional Complex in La Grange.<\/p>\n
Ashlea Hellmann, a defense attorney and former public defender in Louisville, was charged in Oldham County with felony trafficking in synthetic drugs and promoting contraband.<\/p>\n
Hellmann was allegedly in possession of documents soaked in drugs known as K2 and K3 while meeting in an attorney-client area in the prison around 3:30 p.m. She allegedly passed the inmate the papers which he put in a folder, according to a Kentucky State Police citation.<\/p>\n
The drug is also known as \u201cspice\u201d and \u201csynthetic weed,\u201d and reportedly has effects similar to marijuana.<\/p>\n
Hellmann, 34, agreed to talk to police, saying she was given the documents by her client\u2019s family members and \u201cknew something was wrong and she should have known better to do it,\u201d according to the citation. <\/p>\n
The Kentucky State Police arrest report alleges that \u201cit\u2019s apparent\u201d Hellmann and her client have been in a relationship and \u201cthat is possibly the motivation for bringing the papers in.\u201d<\/p>\n
The papers will be sent off for more testing. <\/p>\n
Hellmann\u2019s bond was set at $5,000 cash. She has been released from jail.
