Woman Poses as Attorney to Smuggle Cigs
Legal Networks
A woman who police say posed as a lawyer to sneak into the Duval County jail no longer has any need to sneak in.
Investigators say 37-year-old Louise Cortese has been arrested after smuggling tobacco products into the jail for her boyfriend, who's also an inmate.
Duval County Jail Chief Tara Wildes tells our news partner Channel 4 Cortese is in serious trouble.
"Don't let love lead you to doing the wrong thing. Now she's charged with a third degree felony. That's gonna be life changing for her".
Police say Cortese was a former employee of a law firm and that she used a company letterhead to make them think she was supposed to be interviewing one of the inmates at the jail.
