Cops Mistakenly Donate 25 Pounds of Pot to Prison

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving dept.

The Edinburg, Texas police department gave the local prison a donation of fruit seized from a truck that was used to smuggle drugs. In addition to the fruit they were also kind enough to include 25 pounds of pot. The drugs were missed in the initial search of the produce truck. Prison officials rewarded the inmates who reported the drugs by strip searching them.

    A prison inmate reports the find and they get strip-searched? Proof that no good deed goes unpunished.

      And the message they apparently learn there is that all you'll get for going strait and being honest is screwed over. I'm sure that will rehabilitate them!
