A Glenrock woman charged with shoplifting and use of a controlled substance told police Friday she was seven months pregnant and had used crystal meth earlier in the day, according to a police affidavit.

Nicole Marie Durham pleaded not guilty in Natrona County Circuit Court on Monday to using a controlled substance.

Asked by Judge Steven Brown how she wanted to plead to the charge of shoplifting, the 24-year-old said, "guilty."

She faces six months in jail for each of the misdemeanor charges.

Casper police responded late Friday morning to a shoplifting call from Kmart. A security guard told officers Durham had stuffed several items under her jacket and beneath her clothes and attempted to leave the store with them. The guard, after confronting Durham, found two needles inside a pink plastic bag, according to an affidavit.

When questioned by police, Durham admitted to stealing several items, including shampoo, mineral sheers, sunglasses and bras from the store.

Asked about the needles, she started to cry and said they contained methamphetamine, according to police. At that point, she said she was pregnant -- due at the end of December -- and had used meth earlier that morning.

The substances inside the needles were later tested by officers and found to be methamphetamine.

The visibly pregnant Durham told Brown on Monday that she was unemployed and living with her grandparents.

Her bond was set at $250. She remained jailed Monday afternoon.
