PIKE COUNTY, Ky (WSAZ) -- A female inmate has been accused of smuggling prescription pills into the Pike County Detention Center in an unconventional way.

Kentucky Jail Officials say a wing of female inmates appeared high last weekend -- they say they found Tiffany Worrix hiding more than 100 Roxycodone and Xanax pills inside her body.

Inmates were allegedly trading underwear, soda and tobacco for the pills.

Worrix has been charged with promoting contraband, drug trafficking and possession of a controlled substance.

Put her in the Carter Co. jail. Read the article concerning indictments on the jailer there. He would have caught her.

Well, well, Mr. "Tim", let's see how you handle this if say your child or relative shows up one day "addicted" to drugs. I don't believe anyone becomes an "addict" by choice and I don't consider "addicts" to be trash as you put it. Yes, I agree, some people are their own worst enemies but that is NOT ALWAYS the case. There are all kinds of addictions and they can get to this point in many ways. I've known very highly respected people who are addicts. I've known rich people, poor people, young children, old people, educated people, uneducated people, etc. who are addicts. The "disease" or "condition" if you don't like that term is not prejudiced. It CAN and DOES happen to all kinds of people in ALL walks of life. Wake up Tim, there may be an "addict" sitting right next to you. And if it ever effects anyone in YOUR life, I hope you get some education so you can handle it. I'll pray for you.

Hey "J", your crazy. When some strung out pill head breaks into my house to steal from me, it's my buisness. And those "silly cops" your talking about. There the ones that show up when I shoot the addict that breaks in my house and puts my family at risk. Thats what I can do to stop it. Wake up pal.
