00:00And this whole thing with inserting drugs and going to jail with it, you could have died.
00:04This is how far addiction will take you.
00:05When this 26-year-old defendant concealed drugs inside her body and smuggled them into jail,
00:10Judge Boyd showed her where addiction had taken her and sentenced her to four years behind bars.
00:14Each time you come before me, you have more and more tattoos.
00:18All right, court is calling.
00:212,024 CR 1853, 2,024 CR 008966, State of Texas v. Haley, Lauren, Marr.
00:31Cause number ending in 53, you're charged with evading arrest detention vehicle.
00:35And the cause number ending in 66, and count one, you're charged with prohibited substance or item in a correctional
00:42facility.
00:43That's a third-degree felony.
00:44The evading in a vehicle is also a third-degree felony.
00:47Then each cause number, how do you plead? Guilty, not guilty, or no contest?
00:51No contest.
00:52All right.
00:53And each cause number, after a viewing state's exhibits warning attachments, the court will find there sufficient evidence to find
00:58you guilty.
00:59The court will find you guilty, sentence you to four years in the prison, give you credit for any time
01:03served.
01:03And then in cause number 2,024 CR 1853, the court is finding you guilty.
01:08The court will sentence you to four years in the prison, give you credit for any time served.
01:12There's a $2,000 fine, time and money were run concurrent.
01:15How old are you?
01:1626.
01:16All right, you're 26.
01:18You still can turn your life around.
01:20When you were young, what did you want to be when you were thinking about what you could be in
01:23this world?
01:24Oh, what is it?
01:25I wouldn't.
01:25Here's the thing.
01:26What I'm telling you is you still have a chance.
01:28You're not in the twilight of your life.
01:30I'm in the twilight of my life.
01:31So you still have more of your life in front of you than behind you.
01:35So you're going to have to make some changes.
01:36And this whole thing with inserting drugs and going to jail with it, you could have died.
01:41And then the person who, this is how far addiction will take you, right?
01:43The person who got, you know, had vomiting and everything, they actually took some of that drugs from you.
01:48That's what they're saying, that you uninserted it and gave them some and they got sick.
01:52So when you think about that, when you get clean and sober, you're just going to be like, who would
01:56do that, right?
01:57So when you go to prison, if I'm still here, when you get out of prison, if you need a
02:01place to stay, of course, you won't be staying with me.
02:04But if you need housing or you need help with drugs or whatever, you can come back here and I
02:09will pick up the phone and find a place for you, okay?
02:11And do not put any more tattoos on your face, okay?
02:14And don't get involved with anybody who wants you to put their name on your face.
02:18You understand?
02:19All right.
02:19Good luck to you, okay?
02:20Good luck to you.
