Coke smuggling Bible mom sent to prison

HUNTINGTON, IN - There was more than good news in Amy Duckworth's Bible. Duckworth, 28, was sentenced to six months in prison for smuggling cocaine to her jailed husband inside two Bibles.

Judge Pro Tem Tom Hakes gave her four years each on two charges of trafficking with an inmate, and ordered her to serve 90 days on each count. The remainder of both terms will be served as probation.
 
Duckworth, who has three children, does not have a criminal history.

“When I committed this offense, I wasn't thinking about my children,” she said, reading from a written statement. “It only took one time to learn a lesson.”

Duckworth had admitted to placing bags of cocaine in the spines of two Bibles and having them delivered in March to her husband, Anthony Duckworth, who was in jail on a misdemeanor charge of visiting a common nuisance.
