Cocaine Found Hidden In Jail Under Toilet Paper: Cops

ORLAND PARK, IL -- Orland Park police found cocaine hidden in a jail cell after a detainee was taken to a hospital for a medical issue, prosecutors said. Jennifer Parker, 45, of Justice, appeared before Cook County Judge John Gallagher on a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance.

Parker had been picked up on a retail theft charge around 3:40 a.m. Aug. 17. When she was taken to the Orland Park police station, she complained she wasn’t feeling well and was transported to the hospital, the prosecutor said. While Parker was gone, officers found a small bag of cocaine that Parker had allegedly hidden underneath a roll of toilet paper.

The judge released Parker on a $10,000 I-bond. She’s due back in court Sept. 4 in Bridgeview.
