Man Allegedly Supplies Drugs For Incarcerated Girlfriend

  • {West Virginia}...Charleston Police say, when 72 William Henry Powell went to the South Central Regional Jail Wednesday morning to visit his girlfriend, Crystal Jones, 35, who has been incarcerated since May, he used a potato chip bag to smuggle pills, marijuana and cigarette-making materials to her. Troopers say Powell went into the men's bathroom off the main lobby at the facility and left a TGI Friday's potato chip bag in the trashcan inside. Corrections officers searched the bag and discovered loose-leaf tobacco, rolling papers, marijuana, five Neurontin pills and 10 Visareal pills. Powell, charged with three counts of transferring a controlled substance into a regional jail, was released on a personal recognizance bond and ordered not to have any further contact with Jones.
