A prison employee who brought a bowl of frozen lasagna to work was arrested when cocaine and marijuana were allegedly found hidden in between the layers of the pasta dish.

On the morning of July 3, a 46-year-old woman who has worked as a nursing assistant at the Indiana State Prison for over two decades headed to the facility for her shift. When she walked in, she was carrying a bowl of frozen lasagna. When entering the prison, items must be scanned with an X-ray machine. It was reported that something was seen in the lasagna that caught the attention of the officer when he viewed the image. A second officer inspected it and reported that they agreed something didn’t seem right. When she was asked for consent, the woman said she had no problem with them searching through the food, which she said she got from one of her friends. She also gave them permission to search her cell phone.

The authorities reported that they discovered three packages wrapped in electrical tape were hidden in the lasagna. When they tested the contents, they reported that they positively identified 84 grams of cocaine and 49 grams of marijuana.

When a woman learned she was going to be held at a mental health facility involuntarily, she allegedly struck one of the attending nurses and said psych nurses should expect they will be hit by patients while on the job.

On February 7, a 32-year-old woman was taken to BayCare Behavioral Health at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida, for a psychiatric evaluation. They did not reveal the source of the call, but the police report noted that the woman was brought to the unit after “a separate call for service.”

After the woman was brought into a hospital room, she was given a gown and told to take off her street clothing and put it on. She inquired about whether Florida’s Baker Act was why she was being admitted. The University of Florida (UC Health) defined the act, which has been in effect since 1972, as a “law that enables families and loved ones to provide emergency mental health services and temporary detention for people who are impaired because of their mental illness, and who are unable to determine their needs for treatment.”

The 6-year-old boy reportedly suffers from a genetic disorder called CHARGE syndrome, and while it has a recognizable pattern of symptoms they present differently in each child.
