A Summit Hill woman is facing multiple drug charges by Nesquehoning police after she brought drugs into Carbon County's prison after being arrested in another borough for an unrelated incident.

Nesquehoning police have charged Danielle Eremus, 27, of 22 E. Hazard St., with one count each possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts unlawful possession of a controlled substance, after prison corrections officers found drugs on her and in her cell following a separate arrest.According to the affidavit, Nesquehoning Police Chief Sean Smith was notified by the prison just before 1 p.m. on May 19, that they had discovered contraband on a female inmate. He was told that the inmate, identified as Eremus, was arrested and committed to jail on May 18 by Palmerton Police Department for an unrelated incident.While conducting the intake procedures, which includes a strip search, the corrections officer learned that Eremus had a used syringe in her underwear. The next morning, while doing a search of Eremus' cell, officers also found an empty Suboxone strip packet under her mattress.Smith made contact with Palmerton police regarding Eremus' arrest, and he was told that Eremus had been asked multiple times by police if she had any contraband and she said she did not.Smith then spoke with Eremus, who said she had forgotten that she had the syringe in her underwear when she was arrested and didn't remember about it until she was being strip searched. Smith asked what had been in the syringe, to which Eremus responded heroin.Smith also questioned why a Suboxone wrapper was found her cell and Eremus denied any knowledge of the item.She then submitted to a urine screening, which revealed the presence of codeine, morphine, 6 acetyl morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphine, methamphetamine, amphetamine, methamphetamine metabolite, alpha hydroxy alprazolam and alprazolam in her system.
