@elduque I agree…perimeter guard was going to retrieve it after they clocked in on the perimeter. I hope they can figure that out. Should be easy enough.
Why would anyone want to do stimulants in prison?!?!?!?
It’s already a mad-house!
@fingerprints I’m not sure if you have been paying attention the last 15 years but the bad guys use young kids who’s prints are not on file and stolen cars. Actually I’m sure you have not been paying attention.
The odds there are no finger prints anywhere in/on the duffel bag and those prints are not on file somewhere has to be minimal. Hopefully we will be reading about an arrest in the next few days.
Time to watch the watchdogs. Prison guards, drug sniffing K9s, and cameras yet, an unclean prison. This one didn’t get in, but I guarantee there’s an enterprising dealer inside.
One of the guards must have dropped it on their way in.
