Wow I guess you’re never too old to hustle. I came across this article on Apple News and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I can’t imagine a senior citizen placing themselves in this situation even for a dollar but I guess crime pays extremely well, perhaps more than a lawyer’s salary.
A defense attorney in Houston, Texas, is facing up two felony charges and up to ten years in prison after being accused of smuggling drugs to inmates in a county jail.
According to the article, multiple inmates fell ill after injecting the drugs from laced paper documents. The lawyer is accused of being a major supplier of the drugs, disguised as regular mail. Inmates would pay anywhere from $250-500 to the attorney to bring in laced documents with ecstasy, synthetic marijuana and narcotics. Two inmates have died.
There are apparently other attorneys under investigation as well after an uptick in overdoses inside the jail. Over the past few years the jail has failed a number of inspections for things like laxed monitoring & failure to provide medical care to inmates.
