TWIN FALLS — A woman mail 37 cans of chewing tobacco and some “spice” meant for her jailed boyfriend. But it never reached him.
Instead, the package was intercepted and the woman was arrested for allegedly sending synthetic marijuana to the Idaho Department of Correction prison in Orofino at the request of her boyfriend.
Candace M. Wright, 25, was arraigned Monday on a felony charge of delivery of a controlled substance.
A police report gives this account:
In June 2013, an Idaho Department of Correction investigator contacted Twin Falls police to say they intercepted a package containing the chewing tobacco and some “spice,” a common name for synthetic marijuana.
The investigator found that Wright shipped the package to a woman in Orofino. The woman then planned to drop the package off with her son, who was incarcerated with Wright’s boyfriend.
Wright, who was on probation, agreed to speak with police. She told officers her boyfriend asked her to buy the items and mail them to his fellow inmate’s mother.
The 2012 Idaho Legislature banned all forms of synthetic marijuana. No tobacco may be brought into any IDOC facility.
