LANSING — A Kent County lawyer is facing a 20-year felony charge for attempting to smuggle drugs into a mid-Michigan prison.

Jayne Ashley Carver, 42, who has a law office in Belmont, about nine miles north of Grand Rapids, was arraigned Oct. 7 in 65B District Court in Ithaca on felony charges, Gratiot County Prosecutor Laura Bever said Oct. 21. The charges stem from an Aug. 4 incident in which Carver was seen passing a package to a prisoner during an attorney-client visit at Central Michigan Correctional Facility in St. Louis, Bever told the Detroit Free Press.
