A former top aide to Bill Clinton when he was Arkansas governor was charged Wednesday with trying to smuggle a knife and 48 tattoo needles stashed in a bag of Doritos onto the state's death row.
Betsy Wright, 66, a vocal death penalty opponent, was detained May 22, prison officials said.
It was unclear why she allegedly carried the items into the prison.
Wright denied the charges, but admitted bringing in the Doritos, which she claimed she found in the bottom of a prison vending machine.
Wright served as Clinton's chief of staff and during his 1992 presidential campaign.
She's expected to surrender to authorities in the coming days to face 51 charges filed against her.
