Lesa Paris told a Mahoning County Common Pleas judge Wednesday that she did not know she had cash and drugs on her the day she was arrested in municipal court.
Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Trapp told Judge Shirley Christian during a sentencing hearing Wednesday for the 39-year-old Paris that the drugs found on her Dec. 16 were hidden in a body cavity – and she was planning on distributing them in the Mahoning County jail.
Paris, however, disputed that.
“I wasn’t going to distribute them,” Paris said. “I didn’t even know I had them on me.”
“It wasn’t exactly on you,” Judge Christian told her. “It was in you. That’s kind of hard to get wrong.”
