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.

Did you hear about the man, Ronald Evano, that was sentenced last month to more than five years in jail due to his role in a fraud scheme in which he and his wife are said to have intentionally eaten glass fragments in order to collect more than $200,000 in compensation from a multi-state insurance company?
Evano was also ordered to repay as much as $340,000 for his role in defrauding insurers, grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and doctors in the scheme in which both he and his wife claimed that there was glass in the food that they had eaten.
The couple filed fraudulent insurance claims worth more than $200,000 and incurred more than $100,000 in unpaid medical bills between 1997 and 2005 across several states.
Evano plead guilty to charges in federal court to 20 counts of mail fraud, conspiracy, wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements on health care matters and social security fraud.
Evano’s wife, Mary, remains a fugitive. An arrest warrant has been issued for Mary Evano listing the same charges that her husband plead guilty to in August.
Evano asked the judge for mercy, saying in court that he and his wife are members of the minority Roma community, and needed the money to pay for dowries and other costs associated with the marriages of his sons under cultural practices.
