WALLA WALLA – Kaycee O’Halloran, 22, of Mountlake Terrace was arrested Oct. 21 for attempting to introduce over 100 suboxone strips into the Washington State Penitentiary.

The Walla Walla Regional Drug Gang Task Force was called in and took O’Halloran into custody. She was booked into Walla Walla County Jail on one count of possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Investigators said O’Halloran was under the impression that she would receive money if the transfer of contraband was successful.
