KINCHELOE, Mich. (WZMQ) – A Lower Michigan woman appeared in court this week for charges of smuggling drugs and communication items into the Chippewa Correctional Facility.

On Jan. 11, Michigan Department of Corrections personnel at the Chippewa Correctional Facility became suspicious after noticing unusual behavior by a prisoner during a visitation. After reviewing surveillance, it was discovered that 41-year-old Frances Ramirez-Huerta, of Redford, had smuggled items into the facility. Surveillance video revealed she concealed items in the waistband of her pants, which were covertly given to the prison during the visit.

A subsequent search of the prisoner led to the discovery of two bundles of contraband: the first contained 140 suboxone strips, the second contained seven grams of marijuana flower in packaging and two SIM cards for cellular devices.

Ramirez-Huerta was arrested and charged with the following:

· Controlled Substance-Creation/Delivery of an Analogue

· Controlled Substance-Delivery/Manufacture Marijuana

· Controlled Substance-Maintaining a Drug House

· Furnishing Contraband to a Prisoner in Prison

· Furnishing a Cell Phone to a Prisoner

Ramirez-Huerta was lodged in the Chippewa County Jail. She has been arraigned in the 91st District Court where her bond was set at $1,000 with conditions. She is next scheduled to be in court on Jan. 27.
