Summary
- Woman arrested attempting to smuggle drugs into Alabama prison.

A woman identified as Elizabeth Nichole Davenport, 43, was arrested on Tuesday, August 26, 2026, for attempting to smuggle illicit substances into an Alabama correctional facility. Investigations by the Alabama Department of Corrections' Narcotics and Law Enforcement Services Division led to her apprehension.
Authorities reported seizing approximately 305 grams of synthetic cannabinoids, 116 grams of flakka, and a drone during the operation. Davenport, who was a regular visitor at ADOC facilities, has now been banned from all ADOC facilities due to security concerns.
This incident echoes a similar event approximately four months prior, when Kaitlynn Leigh Watkins was arrested for allegedly using a drone to smuggle drugs into Limestone Correctional Facility. In that case, authorities seized a substantial amount of marijuana, flakka, and other substances, along with a DJI Mavic drone.
