“She was subsequently arrested for possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia and made comments to the officer that warranted a stop to the hospital,” said Officer Kelly O’Sullivan.
Miller told her bail bondsman over the phone from jail that she was sick after traveling from Liberia.
Miller’s claim prompted nearly a dozen people to leave a booking area while Deputies donned surgical masks and gloves.
After a trip to a local hospital, it was determined she had never been to West Africa or left the U.S.
