An Upper Saucon Township woman is facing charges for allegedly smuggling drugs–which authorities say she concealed in her vagina–into the Monroe County Correction Facility in Hamilton Township Thursday after she was picked up on an active Lehigh County warrant, according to a story published by Lehigh Valley Live.

Jenny Lynn Schleppy, 29, who according to online public records lives in the 4300 block of Fieldstone Court, Center Valley, allegedly used the tied-off fingers of a medical glove to smuggle in methamphetamine, bath salts and Ecstasy, which authorities said were discovered Friday when she told corrections officers she wanted to harm herself and a second strip search was ordered (50 Xanax pills were allegedly found in her underwear during an initial intake strip search), the article said.

Schleppy initially denied the drugs were hers, but later admitted they were, it was reported.

According to online court records, Schleppy is charged with three 2nd degree felony counts of Contraband/Controlled Substance as well as several misdemeanors in connection with the alleged smuggling incident.

Following a preliminary arraignment Friday, Judge JoLana Krawitz set her bail at $25,000, according to the records.
