This morning a Lake Charles woman was arrested for trying to conceal synthetic marijuana in a greeting card to be given to an inmate at the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center.

Police say 27-year-old Demita Kneeland, along with a male juvenile, were there to visit an inmate when deputies gave closer inspection to the greeting card she was carrying.
