A bride to be in East Tennessee has ended up behind bars with her intended groom.
And it all happened after deputies caught on to her plans to pass drugs to him during their wedding kiss.
According to the Scott County Sheriff's Department, Brita West came to the jail to marry prisoner Willard Tinch.
While she was being searched, she asked an officer how she would be able to kiss Tinch after the ceremony.
Police say that while she was talking, her dentures kept falling down, and an officer notices she had a package full of meth in her mouth.
Then West gave officers permission to search her purse and her car, where they found more meth, and several syringes.
She's now in jail on a $25,000 bond.
