Couple accused of bringing drugs into jail

Two suspects are charged with promoting contraband after allegedly conspiring to bring drugs into the Christian County Jail.

Investigation by deputy jailers determined 35-year old Rebecca Miller of Crofton allegedly slid an item under a jail door in an attempt to provide it to 34-year old Shawn Gilkey of Hopkinsville, who was already incarcerated.

A deputy jailer intercepted the item and investigation determined it reportedly contained methamphetamine.

Miller had left the scene, but was arrested by the Christian County Sheriff’s Office.

The jail says they determined there had been an arrangement for Miller to help Gilkey get drugs into the jail.

Both suspects are now charged with promoting contraband in the first-degree.
