A woman and her inmate friend have been charged after she allegedly tried to smuggle a Bible laced with heroin into jail.
Police in Ohio said a drug-sniffing dog identified the
Bible during a routine sweep of deliveries to the Hamilton County
Justice Center.An officer noticed a coffee-like stain inside the Bible and sent it in for testing.
A regional narcotics unit determined the stain contained about 30 to 40 hits of heroin, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike Robison said.
Tehani Teepe, 39, and 28-year-old inmate Timothy King were charged with illegal conveyance of contraband into a correction facility.
Sheriff Jim Neil said the stunt shows "the length to which these highly addicted inmates will go to get drugs into jails.
"Now you get a glimpse into how incredibly creative and determined these addicted inmates are, and how we must remain equally determined."
