Woman suspected of carrying heroin arrested at Carmarthen train station
A JOHNSTON woman has been remanded in custody by a District Judge on suspicion of concealing heroin inside her vagina, with intent to supply it to others.
Carrie Davidson was arrested by police officers on April 19 on suspicion that she had travelled to Cardiff to collect the Class A drug before travelling back to Pembrokeshire by train.
Officers apprehended her at Carmarthen train station and arrested her on suspicion of trafficking drugs.
She was subsequently charged with attempting to conceal a Class A drug on her person with intent to supply it to others.
Since her arrest, Davidson has been kept in police custody and supervised on a 24-hour basis, as officers believe the drugs have been concealed inside her vagina.
“Last Monday a food-type bag was discharged from her vagina that did not contain drugs and two days later a further piece of cling film was discharged from her vagina, again containing no drugs,” Crown Prosecutor Sian Vaughan informed District Judge Mark Layton when Davidson appeared before Llanelli magistrates on Tuesday morning.
Ms Vaughan went on to say that Davidson has declined to have an intimate search carried out by medics and has also refused to have both a scan and an x-ray of her lower body.
Since her arrest, Davidson has been remanded in police custody and subjected to 24-hour monitoring by officers.
This week the Crown requested that she be remanded in custody for a further eight days while officers continue to monitor her.
The request was granted by District Judge Mark Layton despite an application from her solicitor for her to be released.
“The police have reasonable grounds to believe that you have drugs inside your vagina, and two items have already been ejected,” he said.
“Your refusal to undergo any form of scans on your lower body will suggest to me that the police application is reasonable and correct.”
Davidson, who appeared in the dock in a wheelchair, has been remanded in custody for a further eight days.
“Thank you,” she commented following Judge Layton’s decision. “I’ll now stop eating and drinking.”
