A Uniontown woman is facing new charges after she allegedly tried to smuggle heroin and tobacco into jail in her buttocks, police said.

Officials were committing Taylor Dickinson, 26, to Fayette County Prison Monday for probation violations when a corrections officer “observed something sticking out of Dickinson’s buttocks,” court documents said.

Dickinson allegedly pleaded with the corrections officer to “let her keep a little,” police wrote.

Police inspected a bag collected by the corrections officer which allegedly contained 92 stamp bags of suspected heroin and tobacco, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in her case.

She was charged Thursday with contraband, possession of a controlled substance by an inmate and possession with intent to deliver.
