SMUGGLING METH IN BIBLE LANDS TWO IN JAIL

Two Louisiana women have been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle crystal methamphetamine inside a Bible to an inmate in the Livingston Parish Detention Center. A 28-year-old woman allegedly delivered a Bible containing methamphetamine to the detention center on May 12. They said a 35-year-old woman allegedly gave the drug-containing Bible to the jailed man.

The intended recipient, a 30-year-old man, has been in jail since October on a variety of drug-related arrests.

The jailed man was booked with entering contraband into a penal institution, and the 35-year-old woman was booked with being a principal to entering contraband into a penal institution.

No bail has yet been set for the women.
