HINDS COUNTY, Miss. — An investigation is underway after this photo of a Hinds County inmate eating a turkey leg from the State Fair turned up on Facebook.
The Clarion-Ledger reports that authorities know the turkey leg was smuggled into the Hinds County Detention Center. No charges have yet been filed as the investigation is still ongoing.
The inmate in the photo, Trilando Johnson, has been jailed since September 30 on a drug possession charge.
Authorities are looking at whether an employee of the sheriff department provided the turkey leg to Johnson.
A cell phone was confiscated from Johnson’s cell. It’s unclear if Johnson posted the photo to Facebook or if someone else did.
