TOKYO, March 2 (UPI) -- An American woman remains in a Japanese jail for shipping her prescribed attention-deficit disorder medication to Japan, where she traveled to teach.
Carrie Russell, 26, was arrested in a Tokyo restaurant Feb. 20 and jailed for drug smuggling, after her mother, an Oregon physician, mailed a three-month supply of the medication Adderall to South Korea, where her daughter was living. The arrest came after Russell shipped the medication to Nagoya, Japan, where she was about to begin a teaching career.
