Holy drugs: woman tries to smuggle narcotics in hollow Bible
Razor knives, a cell phone, ecstasy pills and more than 28 grams of cocaine were found in two hollowed-out bibles being smuggled into a prison, police in the US say.
POLICE IN SOUTH Carolina say a woman used two hollowed-out Bibles to try to smuggle weapons, drugs and a cell phone to a prison inmate.
Sheriff Barry Faile said on Monday that authorities began investigating 28-year-old Shareca Latoya Jones earlier this month after a package mailed to Lieber Correctional Institution was returned to a post office in Lancaster.
