“When the dynamic duo arrived at the Baker County Detention Center (BCDC), Bussey apparently doubted that the deputies would perform a thorough search of her body during the booking process,” the sheriff’s department said in a social media post.
An additional 40 grams of meth and 24 grams of cocaine were found on Bussey during a jail search.
The sheriff’s office said that both Bussey and Hartman were charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bussey was additionally charged with possession of marijuana and introduction of contraband into a detention facility.
