The Nebraska State Patrol arrested a 29-year-old woman last week on suspicion of trying to smuggle meth into the Nebraska State Penitentiary by hiding it inside herself, according to a probable cause affidavit for her arrest.Â
Investigators said they received information Neosho Porter would try to smuggle drugs to her boyfriend during a visit at the prison, documents say.Â

She showed up at 3 p.m. Wednesday and investigators had a drug dog sniff her car while she was inside the penitentiary. Documents say the dog indicated the presence of drugs near the driver side door.Â
Troopers confronted Porter and asked her to hand over the drugs. She then asked for a female correctional officer and handed her a bag of meth she had concealed in her vaginal area, documents say.Â
A search of her car turned up a digital scale and marijuana grinder, documents say.Â
