A 42-year-old woman has been arrested after she allegedly handed officers a sample of her aunt’s dog’s urine instead of her own during a court-ordered drug test.
Jessica Beatty, 42, was charged with a misdemeanor count of fraudulent urine testing in Clearwater, Florida, when she was called up for a random drug test.
On January 11, Beatty – who has a long list of run ins with the law – went to the Pinellas County Misdemeanor Probation Office for a mandatory drug screening.

As part of her release condition from detention, she had been ordered to provide ‘court-ordered random drug screens.’
When she showed up at the probation office earlier this month, Beatty allegedly provided officers with canine urine instead of her own.
Deputies claim she later confessed to using the dog’s urine – and said it was her aunt’s dog. She did not elaborate on how she got the pee from the pup into the cup.
A probable cause affidavit stated: ‘On today’s date, the defendant willfully admitted that she had a fraudulent urine sample that she intended to provide during testing.
‘The defendant readily admitted pre and post Miranda that she collected urine from her aunt’s dog.’
According to authorities, Beatty then provided the officers with a real sample.
Using dog urine instead of human urine in drug test will be ‘immediately’ flagged by laboratories, according to health experts.

This is not the first time someone has tried to pull one over during their drug tests.
In 2019, Kentucky authorities revealed that one woman went to extreme measures to pass a drug test.
Julie Miller, 40, tried to pass off dog pee as her own during a drug test.
According to a statement from the Pineville Police Department, Miller was asked for a drug screen as part of her supervision.
Miller’s probation officer then told Pineville police that the woman ‘had snuck in a sample of urine in an attempt to pass it off as her own to probation and parole officers’.
Police said when she was questioned about the urine, she admitted it was her dog’s pee. When asked by an officer if the dog urine was brought in because she knew she would fail the drug test, Miller reportedly told them yes.
She said her test would have shown that she had used methamphetamine and Suboxone, a painkiller. Miller was then arrested over the incident and booked into the Bell County Detention Center.
She was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence.
