PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — A week before Super Bowl LIX, the Pinal County Jail Special Emergency Response Team and SWAT Team conducted a shakedown to root out contraband.
The search targeted contraband such as weapons, drugs and “hooch,” which deputies said sometimes increases in production ahead of the big game.
Video of the operation shows officers firing a warning shot before entering, ordering inmates to the ground and beginning their search. A deputy explained in the video that officers checked mattresses, toilet paper and empty bottles for hidden contraband.
At least four bottles of “hooch” were confiscated during the search, the video showed.
