A Tennessee woman decided to kiss and tell when she pleaded guilty to passing contraband to a federal inmate via an open-mouth kiss during a visit in 2017.
Lisa Montpelier, 48, of Johnson City, Tennessee, was sentenced to two years in prison and two years of supervised release for passing contraband to a federal inmate at United States Penitentiary in Allenwood, Union County.
Lisa Montpelier pleaded guilty to passing a balloon filled with 21 strips of suboxone to an inmate via an open-mouth kiss.
Officials recovered the drugs from the inmate after the transaction was viewed on the prison’s closed-circuit video surveillance system.
