A 62-year-old grandmother is facing serious charges after she allegedly smuggled drugs in her vagina into a Canadian prison where her son was doing time, the National Post reports.

Linda Ethal Sheridan came to the Edmonton Institution with her 10-year-old granddaughter on July 22, 2013, to visit her son, who is serving time for home invasion. During a routine search, a drug-sniffing dog detected drugs on her.

She allegedly had three bags of drugs including heroin, meth, and marijuana hidden in her genitals and breasts. She seemed embarrassed that this happened," said correctional officer Brandy Swenson. "She really wanted to remove the stuff from her body cavity."

Officials estimated the value of the drugs to be more than $12,000. Her son told a court he did not ask her for the drugs.

The Huffington Post reportsSheridan said she only did it because she felt threatened by an anonymous caller who said he would kill her son if she didn't bring the drugs.

"I wish I hadn't been talked into this," Sherida reportedly told police at the time she was arrested. "It was a stupid move and I should've known better."
