OCALA, Fla. — A man used a prosthetic leg to smuggle heroin into Marion County Jail, according to police.
William Conley, 53, was being searched Thursday at the Marion County Jail after being taken there by deputies on a warrant for failure to appear in court for driving with a suspended license, ClickOrlando reported.
Corrections officers ordered Conley to remove his leg during the search, but he became hesitant and asked if it was necessary. Conley compiled and deputies found a syringe inside the fake limb.
Conley said the syringe was used to inject chickens with vitamins, but heroin showed up in a test. He then told police that he used methamphetamine and morphine, but the needle wasn’t used for heroin.
He was charged with use or possession of drug paraphernalia and smuggling contraband into a detention facility.
