Inmates Fail Attempt To Smuggle Drugs Into County Jail

by Kelly Dean | Feb 25, 2021

3 suspects filed on for smuggling drugs into the Hood County Jail
On 2-25-21 Hood County Sheriff’s Office Investigators charged Demarcus Ledre Lashley (27 yoa), Courtney Jolene Conner (35 yoa), and Kaylee Christian Owen (28 yoa) with Prohibited Substance in a Correctional Facility (felony 3-bond $15,00).
The charges stem from Conner and Owen placing a container of meth in an over the counter product and handing it off to a Hood County Jailer to be delivered to inmate Lashley, who is in jail on a Family Violence charge and a Parole Warrant.
The ruse was uncovered by an alert Jailer that foiled their plan and facilitated their arrests.
Lashley and Conner are in the Hood County Jail and Owen was arrested by the Somervell County Sheriff’s Office and is in jail in Glen Rose.
All suspects are currently in jail at press time.
