A Mount Olive woman, sentenced in district court to three weeks in jail Monday, now faces three additional felony charges for drugs found in her possession as sheriff's deputies processed her into the Wayne County Detention Center.
Sheriff's Office officials said deputies discovered she had drugs on her immediately after she was sentenced for another crime in Wayne County District Court.
Mary Olivia Foy, 24, of 1664 N.C. 55 East, is charged with felony possession of a controlled substance on prison/jail premises, felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of adderall.
Maj. Tom Effler with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office said Foy was sentenced to 21 days for a larceny charge and taken to the detention center, where the drugs were discovered in her possession.
Effler said this meant Foy had the drugs on her person the whole time ---- including during her sentencing hearing for the larceny charge.
