The Louisville Metro Department of Corrections Professional Standards Unit and the United States Postal Inspection Service began the investigation after a “suspicious envelope” containing suspected drugs was intercepted before it could reach someone housed in the jail.<\/p>\n
Detectives learned the suspected drugs were concealed within mail in an attempt to introduce the substances into the facility, according to law enforcement.<\/p>\n
As a result of the investigation, Louisville Metro Department of Corrections detectives arrested 43-year-old Kimberly Stayton, of Louisville, for mailing the suspected drugs.<\/p>\n
Stayton is charged with promoting contraband, trafficking in a controlled substance and forgery. She was lodged in the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n
The person who it was addressed to is expected to face additional charges, including complicity to trafficking in a controlled substance and complicity to promoting contraband.
