PUEBLO, Colo. It was a dumb way to try to sneak drugs into prison. Pueblo
County authorities said a 22-year-old woman worked out a plan with her
boyfriend to get narcotics into jail Wednesday through a courtroom exchange at
her own sentencing hearing. Officials learned of the plot because the woman in
jail, Felisha Trujillo, and her boyfriend talked about the plot on a monitored
phone line.
Phil Martinez, 26, allegedly dropped a bag of narcotics in the jury box before
Trujillo's hearing, when the courtroom was empty. The alleged drug drop
happened minutes after elementary school students had finished a mock trial in
the same courtroom.
Detectives were watching, and Martinez was arrested. Both Martinez and Trujillo
face drug and contraband charges.
