Quote(CNN) -- Bill Clinton's chief of staff when he was governor of Arkansas is expected to turn herself in after authorities issued a bench warrant for her arrest for allegedly smuggling contraband into a state prison, her attorney told CNN Wednesday.

Betsey Wright allegedly smuggled a red Doritos bag containing 48 tattoo needles, a pen with tweezers and a needle inside, a Swiss Army knife and a box cutter into the Varner Unit, a high-security state prison in Grady, Arkansas, according to the bench warrant.

She will turn herself in next week, Jeff Rosenzweig, Wright's attorney, said.

Wright is an advocate for prisoners and has befriended a number of inmates at Varner, Rosenzweig said.

"We are very disappointed the prosecutor has chosen to issue charges," he said.

"We have no choice but to seek vindication in court."

Wright served Clinton as chief of staff for seven years in Arkansas and ran his successful campaigns for

Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm just glad that they fixed the article. When I read it this afternoon, it read as follows (I had no idea what it was talking about):

QuoteA former chief of staff for Bill Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas faces felony charges accusing her of trying to smuggle a knife and 48 tattoo needles onto the state's death row.

The charges against Betsey Wright come as The Associated Press obtained documents showing a death-row inmate allegedly passed love letters and contraband to a guard with whom he committed a sex act. Combined, the events represent just the latest in a series of high-profile incidents at the state prison system, ranging from two convicted murderers escaping in guard uniforms to a man being shot to death at a contraband checkpoint.

In her defense, you can't eat just one.
