MIAMI — A probationer recently attempted to pass off Gatorade and warm water as a urine sample during a meeting with her probation officer.
The Smoking Gun reports that Tabatha Coulombe was jailed for violation of her probation, which stems from a 2013 sentencing for animal cruelty.
Coulombe met with her probation officer in late January and provided the less than truthful urine sample. The officer questioned Coulombe about the sample’s source after “abnormal color (blush)” and “abnormal test results.”
“Coulombe admitted that she did defraud the test and … removed a plastic pill bottle that was concealed in her vagina,” said a Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office report. Her probation officer subsequently “discovered that the submitted solution was a combination of Gatorade and hot water.”
Coulombe had failed a urine test three weeks prior.
