Cops: Indiana Woman Hid Meth Inside Bible In Jail Smuggling Bid

Smoking Gun

A woman is facing felony charges for allegedly hiding methamphetamine inside a Bible that she attempted to leave for an inmate at an Indiana county jail.

But the smuggling bid was thwarted when jailers noticed that the Good Book appeared to have been tampered with. A further examination revealed that the meth (and some tobacco) had been stashed inside the book’s binding.

The Bible and the seized contraband are pictured in the above police evidence photo.

Cops Tuesday arrested Sara Roseberry for trying to smuggle the items to a friend locked up at the Jennings County jail (Roseberry herself is now being held there in lieu of $100,000 bond). The 21-year-old defendant is pictured in the mug shot at right.
