Accused dealer goes to jail with quarter-pound of drugs hidden in her wig
A drug suspect became irate when Coffee County deputies asked her to remove her wig.
It was likely more than vanity that sparked Delenea Camille Jones’ ire early Saturday as she was headed to jail.
After refusing the officers’ orders, they took matters into their own hands and removed the hairpiece of long, twisted strands.
A quarter pound of cocaine and 25 Ecstasy tablets were in plastic bags under the wig, according to a release from the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office.
Jones, of Brunswick, had been arrested on drug possession and distribution charges in a neighboring county about 4 a.m. Saturday and was being booked into the jail in Douglas when deputies discovered the contraband.
Coffee deputies added additional charges of trafficking cocaine and possession of Ecstasy, which induces feelings of euphoria, closeness and diminished anxiety.
