A Dunedin woman who hollowed out a chapstick tube and stuffed it full of methamphetamine was arrested after she tried to smuggle it into the Otago Corrections Facility.
On May 11, Kelli-Anna Tristram Peck, 45, was visiting an associate in jail when she was captured on CCTV committing a crime under the noses of Corrections staff, the Dunedin District Court heard this week.
While in the visiting area, the woman handed a hollowed-out chapstick tube containing 0.64g of methamphetamine to the inmate.
Both the defendant and the inmate were detained and the package was retrieved.
