A woman in Florida is behind bars after attempting to trick authorities by handing them dog urine during a mandatory drug test, Law & Crime reported. 

Jessica Beatty, aged 42, was apprehended and charged with fraudulent practices related to urine testing. Court documents reveal that on January 11th, Beatty visited the Pinellas County Misdemeanor Probation Office in Highpoint, Florida for a required drug screening. Having a history of legal issues, Beatty was obligated to undergo random drug tests as part of her release conditions from previous offenses. 

In an attempt to deceive the authorities, Beatty allegedly tried to pass off dog urine as her own. Eventually, she admitted to her failed ploy.

“On today’s date, the defendant willfully admitted that she had a fraudulent urine sample that she intended to provide during testing,”

the probable cause affidavit states.

“The defendant readily admitted pre and post Miranda that she collected urine from her aunt’s dog.”

After her failed attempt, Jessica Beatty eventually provided a legitimate urine sample, as confirmed by authorities. The affidavit does not provide any information on how Beatty managed to smuggle the dog’s urine into the facility. 

According to OHS Health and Safety Services, using dog urine as a substitute for human urine in a drug test is immediately detected by any laboratory.
