Ex-Miss Kentucky USA fights prison search before drug arrest
LIMA, Ohio (AP) — A former Miss Kentucky USA who's accused of smuggling marijuana into an Ohio prison shouldn't have been pulled aside and searched by guards, her attorney told a judge.
The attorney for 28-year-old Kia Hampton of Louisville, Kentucky, argued Thursday that authorities shouldn't have been given a warrant that allowed a strip search.
Authorities say Hampton was found with a balloon filled with marijuana while she was trying to visit an inmate at the Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in late May.
Hampton, who won the Miss Kentucky USA pageant in 2010, was served a search warrant upon arriving at the prison for an inmate visit.
