Colorado Men arrested for using cannon to launch contraband into prison

Very Subtle.

Louisiana Radio Network:

Two Colorado men were arrested for attempting to smuggle $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of methamphetamine into a federal prison using a compressed air cannon. Grant Parish Sheriff Steven McCain says they weren’t successful.

“Thanks to a very observant deputy, he was able to stop it before they were able to get the drugs into the prison.”

18-year-old Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz, and 19-yeard-old Angel Gonzales Gutierrez plan involved launching contraband over the prison’s security fence, with the cannon capable of propelling items over 350 feet. more

  1. I love it! Not so much that they got caught, but that their plan was pretty well calculated. They must have practiced in order to perfect range and trajectory.

    Unfortunately for them and their buddies inside, 350 feet is less than most prisons cleared perimeter. So obviously they wouldn’t have been hard to spot. Of course, an 85 pound parcel flying over the fence would have been hard for all but the paid-off guards to miss.
