Sarah Gad, 37, denies allegations she sneaked in the drugs via legal paperwork.
A Minneapolis attorney is under investigation on suspicion of sneaking illicit drugs to inmates in the Hennepin County jail, according to newly filed court documents.
A search warrant affidavit filed Monday in District Court says Sarah Rafat Gad used her privilege as a defense attorney to avoid detection in recent months and slipped papers soaked in cocaine and fentanyl to two of her clients, who are reputed members of “The Lows” street gang. Generally, the only correspondence inmates can receive that is not examined for contraband is legal mail brought in by an attorney.
Gad, 37, has not been arrested or charged in relation to the investigation, officials with the Sheriff’s Office and County Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
