Woman accused of trying to smuggle heroin into prison
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. --- A former Waterloo woman is awaiting trial for allegedly planning to smuggle heroin into a federal prison here.
Agents with the Vigo County Drug Task Force arrested Jodi Lynn Neuendorf, 35, after they found the drugs after she arrived at a Terre Haute hotel in July.
The heroin was black tar heroin, which is a raw, unrefined drug. With packaging, the drug weighed about 22 grams, said Detective Greg Ferency with the task force.
The street value is estimated to be about $2,800, Ferency said.
"The prison value I'm sure is much higher," Ferency said. "The prison value could be five times that."
Terre Haute police declined to name the prisoner but said he wasn't charged in the incident.
