I am going to stereotype here, based on her appearance I don't believe she makes the best decisions for herself.

The court was told in recent years, Goodson was using psychedelic drugs, synthetic cannabis and crystal meth amphetamines.

She does not.

"On her way to clown school."

Correct

From now on “clown school” is a euphemism for prison, if one’s jailed for an egregiously stupid crime

Goodson was using psychedelic drugs, synthetic cannabis and crystal meth amphetamines.

First thought.

Very. first. thought.

I may further stereotype her, but I'll point out she was traveling from Florida. The headline could read "Florida woman..."

Article said she was going to Australia for school.
