He Has A Hollow Leg

A jail trusty is facing charges for smugging contraband into the jail. The 42 year old, Rapides Parrish, Louisiana man attempted to bring baggies of tobacco, cigarettes, and muscle relaxers in hidden in his prosthetic leg. Apparently somebody thought to look there and I'm guessing the prisoner is no longer a trusty.

"I checked the Associated Press Stylebook. Indeed, a trustee is a "person to whom another's property or the management of another's property is given," the stylebook says. A trusty is "a prison inmate granted special privileges as a trustworthy person.""

Too bad it was lowly tobacco and pills. If it was cocaine, he would be 'Trusty the Snowman' :cheese:
