Fort Pierce Woman Kept Crack Pipe in Bible: Cops

Holy book used for unholy purpose: Police

A Fort Pierce woman is facing drug possession charges and at least 10 Hail Mary's after police say they found a crack pipe hidden in her bible.

Tonya Levette Sutton, 42, was arrested late Sunday on narcotics possession and public consumption after she was spotted walking on a public street with an open container of Colt .45 malt liquor, according to an arrest report obtained by TCPalm.com.

Sutton was approached by officers and taken into custody, but when police searched her purse they made an unholy discovery.

Inside a small bible was a crack cocaine pipe that appeared used and had drug residue, the report said.

Sutton was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail. It was unknown whether she has an attorney.
