A Broward woman is facing charges after she was caught with a “bountiful” amount of drugs, alcohol and other items during a failed “drop” at a state prison, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Makia Lashay Shivers, 31, was arrested just outside Martin Correctional Institution Wednesday night, Martin County Sheriff’s Office officials said.<\/p>\n
Deputies had responded to a report of a suspicious person on the prison property and found Shivers with a large amount of contraband, officials said.<\/p>\n
The contraband included:<\/p>\n
464 grams of methamphetamine<\/p>\n
K2\/THC<\/p>\n
37 cell phones<\/p>\n
Several bottles of alcohol<\/p>\n
Cigarettes<\/p>\n
Cell phone chargers<\/p>\n
Shoes and other contraband\/paraphernalia<\/p>\n
Shivers spoke with investigators and told them two men from Broward convinced her to go to Martin County and make the drop, but she got scared and ran.<\/p>\n
The two men left Shivers behind with the bags of contraband, the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n
Shivers was booked into jail on charges including trafficking in methamphetamine, burglary of an unoccupied structure, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and introduction of contraband into a state prison facility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Broward woman is facing charges after she was caught with a “bountiful” amount of drugs, alcohol and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[28,249,251,250],"class_list":["post-410690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-florida","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
