CONCORD, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman is facing charges after she was allegedly caught trying to smuggle Suboxone into MCI Concord during a visit on Saturday, officials said.
The woman, who authorities did not identify, was in the visiting room when an investigations officer intercepted her plan to smuggle in Suboxone, officials said.
A package the woman was carrying contained approximately 8 Suboxone strips, according to authorities.
Suboxone can sell for as much as $200 per strip, officials said.
State police interviewed the woman, who had two minor children with her, and the Department of Children and Families was contacted, officials said.
