SANTEE, Calif.—In a shocking incident, a woman was apprehended on September 11 for allegedly trying to sneak methamphetamine to an inmate in a San Diego-area jail using a drug-soaked piece of mail.
Misty S. Vantine, 45, was taken into custody on September 8 in a parking area at George Bailey Detention Facility in Otay Mesa, as reported by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
