SOMERSET TWP, Somerset County — State prison officials stuck a pin in a Butler County woman’s alleged balloon smuggling plan to get drugs to her inmate husband, authorities said.

Her high hopes deflated, Tiffanny N. Harris, 26, of Butler Township this week joined her spouse behind bars — but at different lockups.

Harris is being held at the Somerset County Prison on $50,000 bail. She is charged with a pair of felonies — possession with intent to deliver drugs and attempting to smuggle drugs to an inmate.

State police said the defendant showed up Monday at the State Correctional Institution-Somerset visitation room. There, according to court documents, she tried to pass on Suboxone strips to 33-year-old Adam Paul Harris.

Suboxone is a narcotic medication used to treat opiate addiction.

The couple’s purported smuggling conduit was a strawberry milk jug, police said.

Specifically, the suspected scheme involved Tiffany Harris putting four balloons — filled with Suboxone strips — into the milk container she bought from the visitors’ room vending machine.

Next, documents said, she was to share the milk with her husband, who would swallow the balloons while drinking the beverage. Later, he would allegedly pass the balloons and consume the drugs.

But the plan soured when guards confiscated the milk and found the evidence in the jug, police said.

The couple, themselves, unintentionally tipped off prison officials of the intended plan. Investigators said the pair previously discussed the plot during recorded calls on the prison’s phone system.

Police later filed multiple felonies against Adam Harris stemming from the failed plan.

Adam Harris, who is at SCI-Somerset for a parole violation, is no stranger to jails or prisons. His criminal record dates back to 2000 and lists 13 felony convictions in Butler County for crimes including theft, receiving stolen property and burglary.

In 2009, he was sentenced to 3 to 6 years in prison stemming from a vehicle break-in spree in Donegal, Oakland and Center townships.

He was released in 2014 but it didn’t take long for him to again find himself in trouble with the law.

Butler Township police on Feb. 16 arrested Harris after he allegedly pulled a knife on a security officer outside a store where he is accused of shoplifting a $169 Keurig coffee maker.

He ran away but was nabbed about two hours later in nearby Butler.

Harris in that case, which is pending in Butler County Court, is charged with robbery, retail theft, terroristic threats, simple assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
