Trenton woman nabbed with 32 bags of crack at courthouse

A woman was arrested Tuesday when she tried to enter the County's criminal courthouse with 32 bags of crack cocaine.

Rakisha Meyers set off the metal detector when entering the courthouse, and when Mercer County Sheriff's Officer Ricardo Hernandez asked her what she might have, she reached in her coat pocket to pull out some loose change.

But along with the change, Meyers pulled out a baggie that Hernandez could see containing what appeared to be crack.

Meyers, realizing that she pulled out the baggie, tried to stuff it back in her pocket, and she tried to turn and leave, pushing her way through a crowd of people who had been waiting to enter through the checkpoint.

Hernandez stopped Meyers immediately and retrieved the bag, which contained 32 smaller baggies of crack cocaine equaling a total weight of about 12.5 grams.
