Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
We know what you're probably thinking, but the answer is no -- this is not Governor Jan Brewer before a trip to the makeup chair.
This toothless Valley treasure is 52-year-old Roseann Jimenez.
Jimenez got pinched in Phoenix last week on a slew of felony drug charges, including possession and use of a narcotic drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jimenez weighs a frightening 95 pounds, and
after dealing with her current legal issues, could probably find work as one of the "after" models for the Arizona Meth Project, or as a stand-in for Governor Brewer.
Considering Jan's handling of the state budget, Jimenez might be a welcome replacement.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
