A Kansas City woman has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an attempt to smuggle methamphetamine into Boonville Correctional Center earlier this year.
Rosalind Haskins was arrested in March after a Department of Corrections employee uncovered phone conversations revealing that inmate Aaron Norris had instructed her to deliver a package to a MoDOT work site where he was on work detail. Norris planned to retrieve the drugs and bring them inside the prison.
When Haskins arrived, a Cooper County deputy was waiting. A search of her vehicle uncovered a brown paper bag containing 20 sheets of methamphetamine-soaked paper, along with crack cocaine and four Schedule II pills without a prescription.
Originally facing first-degree drug trafficking and three counts of drug possession, Haskins pleaded guilty Monday to the trafficking charge and one count of possession. She is scheduled for sentencing on October 10.
Norris still faces second-degree drug trafficking charges.
