Contraband: Pants filled with pills

This tip was submitted by a corrections officer in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. She said, “Our jail control received an anonymous tip that an inmate who was ordered to report to jail would be trying to smuggle in pills. The Corrections Officer did not feel anything when patting the inmate down.

After changing the inmate over into a jail uniform we searched his clothing. We found a cut in the inside of his zipper the pills were located on the inside seam of his zipper (not in a baggie).

His pants were baggy and as you can see from picture, there were several pills that fit in the small hole. Later we found out the pills were Morphine. The person who called advised us that his intentions were to sell them to the other inmates in the cell block.”
