A Kunkletown woman hid drugs and syringes inside her body then brought the contraband into Carbon County prison to share with her fellow inmates, according to court documents.

The contraband had been left in a court bathroom for her by her boyfriend, police said.Jacqueline Homschek, 24, was charged Thursday by Nesquehoning Police Chief Sean Smith with unlawful delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance, possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance, contraband/controlled substance, contraband/possession of a controlled substance by an inmate, criminal solicitation, criminal conspiracy, criminal use of a communication device, and possession of drug paraphernalia.She was arraigned before District Judge Casimir Kosciolek of Lansford and remains in jail under $150,000 straight cash bail.Homschek's boyfriend, Dylan L. Rahmann, 24, of Saylorsburg, was charged with unlawful delivery or manufacture of a controlled substance, possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance, contraband/controlled substance, criminal solicitation, criminal conspiracy, criminal use of a communication device, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.He was arraigned and jailed under $250,000 straight cash bail.Police also charged Homschek's grandmother, Betty Gargone, 67, of Kunkletown, with criminal use of a communication facility and conspiracy.Gargone knew of the plan to transfer the drugs but did not tell police, according to court documents. Gargone turned herself in at Kosciolek's on Thursday afternoon and was released on $20,000 unsecured bail.The inmates who shared in Homschek's bounty Jennifer L. Rudelitch of Nesquehoning, Holly M. Koch of Lehighton, Jennifer Steigerwalt, Dana M. McFadden of Summit Hill, Alexis Goldberg of Lansford, Shaina Haas of Lehighton, Tiffany J. Scott of Lehighton, and Megan R. Magushak of Beaver Meadows were each charged with possession of a controlled substance/contraband by an inmate, criminal conspiracy, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were jailed on $20,000 straight cash bail each.The investigation, called Operation H Block, was triggered on March 3 when Carbon County prison deputy warden Timothy Fritz called Smith to tell him that he had gotten a report that Rahmann had stashed heroin and a syringe in Kosciolek's bathroom ahead of Homschek's arrival there for a Feb. 25 preliminary hearing.Homschek was to appear on charges of smuggling drugs into the prison on Jan. 29, 2014.Mahoning Township police brought her to the hearing.Because there were no female guards to accompany her, Homschek went into the bathroom by herself.Once in there, she retrieved the drugs and syringe, inserting them into her genitals and smuggling them into the prison.Fritz noticed several female inmates on H Block behaving oddly, as though they were high.Smith received a report that a confidential informant said heroin, suboxone and needles were in the female areas of the prison, and that Homschek had brought them in after a court hearing.The report said that Homschek had retrieved 50 bags of heroin, the suboxone and needles, wrapped tightly in cellophane, from the district judge's bathroom, where they had been hidden.Smith ordered urine tests that revealed the presence of morphine in urine samples from Homschek, Steigerwalt, Haas, Scott and Goldberg.McFadden and Scott's urine also showed suboxone, and Haas and Goldberg had codeine on board.Codeine is sometimes used to adulterate heroin. Magushak admitted to taking suboxone, and Koch refused the test. Rudelitch admitted to ingesting heroin.Smith said Steigerwalt was placed on a medical watch after he was told she had swallowed the rest of the drugs. Steigerwalt confirmed that Homschek had brought in the drugs.Rahman's involvement came into focus when Smith spoke with state Trooper Erin Cawley, who said Rahmann had falsely reported a home invasion and was charged with making a false report and for having a stolen gun.She said Rahmann was uncooperative, but did admit to selling heroin from his parents' house, where he lived.His parents also admitted to police they knew what their son was doing.On March 10, Smith examined Homschek's phone records with Rahman and discovered they had talked about a plan to get drugs into the prison.Rahmann told Homschek that he had told her grandmother, Gargone, what was planned, and that she was angry about it.Smith spoke with Gargone, who told him Rahman told her of the plans on Feb. 24.She said that on Feb. 26, she asked Rahmann if he had given Homschek the heroin, and that he had said yes.Smith said procedures for allowing inmates at the prison and for using the bathroom in district courtrooms have been changed in light of the drug transfer.
