Booked: A city resident caught inside Kroger when a judge had told her she was forbidden to be there ended up in even more trouble because she had a bag containing crack, Sunday. Police said Breonna Williams, 31, 1418 Pennsylvania Ave., was booked into the justice center on charges of contempt of court and possession of drugs after admitting to police she'd been in the store. She told police she knew she had a no contact order "but it was the only place she could shop" and said she went in, then "quickly exited once she remembered she was not allowed there." She told police she "didn't remember if she had anything illegal on her person but if she did it was in her shoe." En route to jail, they reminded her she'd face a conveyance charge if any drugs were found on her and allege that after some fidgeting in the cruiser, Williams produced a bag that she said contained crack that had been in her shoe.
