Amanda L. Lewis, 32, was arrested for promoting prison contraband at the Ulster County Jail in the Town of Wawarsing, said NYSP Spokesman Trooper Steven Nevel.
Lewis was caught after a Corrections K-9 officer alerted on her possessions which were then searched by troopers from Troop F who found a prescription bottle containing six different types of controlled substances. Officials also found a marijuana cigarette and a marijuana grinder in her vehicle also on prison grounds.
She was charged with promoting prison contraband, six counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, and possession of a controlled substance outside its original device.
Lewis is being held at the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $250 cash bail or $500 secured bond and is scheduled to reappear in the Town of Wawarsing Court on Thursday.
