Woman arrested before swallowing drugs

A Georgia woman who was arrested on outstanding warrants on Friday was charged with drug possession after she allegedly tried to eat crack cocaine in front of drug agents.

48-year-old Linda Blank of Douglas was in custody when drug detectives and K-9 officers noticed her chewing what turned out to be a small amount of crack cocaine.



Authorities were able to stop Blank from swallowing the crack and eventually recovered the drugs from her mouth, the Coffee County Sheriff's Office said.

Blank, who was arrested on a bench warrant stemming from theft by shoplifting charge, now faces a charge of possession of cocaine.
