Authorities say that a Philadelphia woman gave new meaning to the phrase “dirty diapers.”
24-year-old Jennifer Young was arrested for allegedly using a newborn baby’s diaper to smuggle drugs to her boyfriend in jail, according to the Delco Times.
It's unconfirmed whether she is the mother of the baby.
Police say that they received a tip on Young and possible contraband. Prison guards closely watched Young when she visited her boyfriend Randy Sanchez on April 9th.
Police say that Young placed the baby on Sanchez’s lap and that Sanchez was seen pulling something from the baby’s diaper.
When a prison guard approached the couple, police say that Sanchez dropped a rubber glove on the floor that contained five Xanax and four Suboxone pills.
Both Young and Sanchez were then taken into custody.
