Tait was taken to the Will County jail. Her bond was set at $10,000, and she remains in custody.
Just three days before Tait’s alleged failed bid to cheat the test, a Lockport woman got caught with a 5-Hour Energy bottle full of liquid stuffed in her vagina during a drug screen, police said.

That woman, 30-year-old Maggie McVey, was also jailed for allegedly attempting to foil a drug test.
McVey, who was on probation for a heroin conviction, remains in custody. Her bond was set at $50,000.
