Ingrid, a 31-year-old mother living in Lavelanet in Ariège, appeared before the
criminal court in Foix over conduct on 17 June 2026, with no previous
convictions.[1] The court sentenced her to 105 hours of community service and
banned her from appearing at the Foix jail for one year.[1] The sentence
spared her the suspended prison term requested by the prosecution.[1]
On 17 June 2026 she tried to send 25 grams of cannabis to a detainee at the Foix
prison by preparing pieces of the drug, hiding them carefully in clothing and
packing them into a bag that she was not to carry to the jail herself.[1] In
exchange she was to keep 4 grams for herself, telling the court she had acted
without thinking.[1]
She said she had agreed to do it as a favour for a female friend to help get the
bag to the detainee.[1] She had come to Ariège to rebuild her life but
described herself as isolated, with her children in care and her partner in
prison.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- The article gives the offence date of 17 June 2026 but no separate date for the trial and sentence; 1 November 2026, the article's publication date, is used as the incident date.
- Most of the article body is behind a paywall, so details beyond the accessible introduction, caption and metadata could not be read in the opened capture.
- No second account of this case could be found and opened, so the report rests on a single source.
- The only picture on the opened page is credited as a DDM illustration of the sentence, not an event photo, so no media entry is listed.
- The accessible text does not state whether the 25-gram bag was seized, whether anyone else was charged, or what happened to the intended recipient.
