Visitor arrested at Carlisle prison

An Indianapolis woman was in the Sullivan County jail Thursday after authorities discovered methamphetamine in her car.

Crystal Hiser, 22, of Indianapolis was arrested while visiting the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility in Carlisle. During the visit, Hiser told prison officials she planned to smuggle contraband into the prison but could not go through with it, according to a media release from the facility.

Hiser gave prison officials permission to search her car, where they found 4.8 grams of meth, the media release states.

Hiser was at the prison to visit Robert Livingston, 28. Livingston is due for release in February after serving sentences in Morgan and Johnson counties for driving under the influence, habitual offender/substance abuse and possession of marijuana/hashish, according to the news release.

Hiser faces an allegation of possession of methamphetamine, a class-B felony.
