Crime details lacking, so judge rejects plea
A plea hearing in federal court came to an abrupt end on Thursday, after a Mingo County woman accused of laundering drug money said she had no idea what was in a package she allegedly mailed.
Chief U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin asked Lorene Canterbury of Dingess to explain exactly what she did to constitute the crime of money laundering.
"I mailed a package from Naugatuck, West Virginia," she said. The package, which she sent to Chicago, contained two books she bought at Books-A-Million and a manila envelope, she said.
