TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – In a shocking turn of events, Ashley Mullins, 40, of Appalachia, Virginia, has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for introducing methamphetamine into Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution.

According to court records, Mullins was caught by a Bureau of Prisons officer while she was walking with an object bulging in her pocket. The officer directed the defendant to empty her pockets and discovered several contraband items, including a crystal substance and a crystal powder substance in a bag. Later forensic testing confirmed the substances were methamphetamine.
