According to the arrest report:

Major was asked and voluntarily removed three plastic packages from her pants that contained 166.5 grams of methamphetamine and 269 grams of MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone, commonly known as “bath salts”).

Staples was asked and voluntarily removed a single plastic package of 165.5 grams of spice.

The incident was captured on Century CI surveillance cameras.

Major was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Staples was released on a $30,000 bond.

    So glad they finally got them and made an example out of them. I hope they continue to arrested the ones bringing stuff into to the institution. Ones like this make the rest of us look bad and put everyone in danger, officers and inmates. Female or male, if you come to work to bring stuff to inmates please find somewhere else to work. Some of us are there to actually do our jobs and support our families.
