Do you ever wonder how prisoners get contraband items like drugs? I guess it comes as no surprise that some of the forbidden and illegal items come in with jail staff such as corrections officers.

In Texarkana, Ark a corrections officer who’d made frequent takeout food deliveries to the county jail was caught sneaking syringes inside tacos and marijuana under chili.

Jordan Michale Waller, 25, made two suspicious delivers one after the other one Saturday evening. He entered the Miller County jail with three pizzas at 3 a.m. and then twenty minutes later he brought in what appeared to be a large bag containing chili and tacos.

The jail sergeant became suspicious and searched the food. He found marijuana that had been formed into three round patties under some chili and a couple of syringes inside the tacos. When Waller was searched officers found methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.

Waller was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and furnishing prohibited items into a correctional facility.

Waller who had only worked at the lockup for two months was held in custody with his bond set at $100,000.

Smugglers will try anything won’t they? The latest interesting smuggling attempt involves bugs as mules.

Fortunately the smugglers attempt wasn’t successful.

A customs officer in the Netherlands too a close look at a consignment of more than 100 larger dead beetles that had been send from Peru and discovered that cocaine had been stashed inside them.

“We see a lot of things, but this was a first for us,” customs spokesman Kees Nanninga said.

“It looked like they were cut open, the drugs hidden in their backs and then they were glued back together again,” he said.

In total the insects held about 10 ounces of cocaine said to be worth about $11,000.

You’d think most police officers would have an idea when eight people are murdered, but apparently the Columbian Police were unaware of some suspicious murders until the victims relatives decided to purchase coffins for the burial of their murdered relatives.

The province in Columbia, near Ecuador, in which the coffins were purchased is a key Cocaine production area. Leftist rebels and drug gangs frequently fight over smuggling routes in the area.

Now that the police have become suspicious about the deaths of eight people they are investigating the case. Police said the murders appeared to be part of a robbery where one trafficking group stole a large amount of coca base from another group and used it to make cocaine.

It seems that we keep hearing more and more often about people having problems with drugs, alcohol and even Pain Killer Addiction, don’t we? I don’t know if the problem is becoming worse, or if people are just being more open about the fact that they have a problem and the fact that they’ve gone to rehab to get help.
