A Kosciusko County woman was arrested for allegedly trying to bring drugs into the Westville Correctional Facility over the weekend. Investigators with the Indiana Department of Correction believe Rita Sellers, 46, of Silver Lake, was attempting to traffic drugs while visiting an offender on Saturday. The investigation turned up what officers suspect to be Suboxone, a prescription drug used to treat people who are dependent on opioids.
The Department of Correction says Sellers was taken to the LaPorte County Jail, pending a Level 5 felony charge of trafficking a controlled substance with an inmate. Any formal charges will be determined by the LaPorte County Prosecutor’s Office.
Warden John Galipeau notes that the facility has a zero tolerance policy on trafficking, and the IDOC will seek prosecution against anyone who tries to bring in illegal substances.
