'Dream Team' caught mixing hand sanitizer 'cocktails' for fun night in Coweta County Jail

COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - Some good, "clean" fun landed a couple of women being held at the Coweta County Jail in even bigger trouble. The inmates were accused of teaming up to steal hand sanitizer from jail staff, and then partying with it in their cell at night.

No one could accuse Lisa Marie Dover and Angela Faye Ragsdale of having a clean record before this hand sanitizer case. Dover, 42, had been locked up in the Coweta County Jail for non-narcotic drug possession, among other charges, as well as probation violation. Ragsdale, 49, was jailed on drug possession and probation violation.

Cellmates Dover and Ragsdale were accused of swiping the sanitizer in a sticky-fingered plot. Officers said Ragsdale acted as the distraction as Dover, the thief, snatched the bottles from jail desks.

"…they began to consume the hand sanitizer by pouring the contents of the bottle into their jail issued cups and adding water to it to thin it out," a report filed against the two read. "The alcohol content is 62.5%. After drinking the alcohol, both inmates talk about how they are feeling the effects.

The "Germ-X Gang" was accused of going back for more the next day using the same scheme. The report said they returned to their cell and "…high-fived each other and said we are the ‘Dream Team,’ while Ragsdale danced in the cell."

Apparently, not knowing their activities were being video recorded and watched, jail staff reported that the pair were removed, their cell was searched, their empty bottles were confiscated, and the fun was over.

Dover and Ragsdale now face additional charges. Dover and Ragsdale were charged with two misdemeanor counts of theft by taking and a felony charge for possession of the sanitizer cocktail.

Bars are able to reopen across New Zealand today as the final phase of the COVID-19 Alert Level 2 measures come into effect. The easing of restrictions on business, gatherings and travel were eased in three stages across New Zealand starting from 14 May 2020. Restaurants, cinemas, retail, playgrounds and gyms are now able to open with physical distancing and strict hygiene measures in place while gatherings are limited to 10 people. Domestic travel has resumed and schools and early childhood centres are also open again. New Zealand was placed under full lockdown on March 26 in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

An interesting note, jail records indicate Dover gave a home address on Margarita Trail in Newnan. As it turns out, that street is about a 20-minute drive from the county jail.

Jail records also indicate that the two are no longer cellmates.
