updated 25 minutes ago PORT CHARLOTTE:A woman is charged with smuggling heroin into the Charlotte County Jail by hiding it in her vagina. Katrina Montez Wade, 37, was arrested on May 20th when deputies raided a suspected drug den on Jumper Avenue in Port Charlotte. Wade and another woman went to jail on trafficking charges after detectives say they found crack, heroin and pot at the home. The other suspect told deputies at the time of the arrest that Wade had 50-100 baggies of heroin stashed in her vagina. But when she arrived at the county jail, the corrections deputies performed only a strip search - finding nothing - and denied a request for a body cavity search, according to the arrest report. Deputies then started to hear rumblings that Wade was trading the heroin in the jail to get commissary items. The deals were conducted by passing notes, reading lips and hand signals, according to the arrest report. After interviewing several other inmates, corrections deputies confronted Wade on May 26th.
