Pacifica lawyer Erika Jordening, 43, who was arrested yesterday for allegedly smuggling drugs to inmate Aaron Rauls at San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City during a confidential attorney-client meeting, has not been charged because the contraband substance was tested by a county lab and found to be melatonin, an herbal sleep aid, according to the Sheriff's Office. Jordening was jailed in lieu of $35,000 bail, and still faces trial on a petty theft charge (as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, August 23 & 24).
