GRANT PARISH, La. (KKTV) - On Friday, the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana said two Colorado men were arrested after attempting to use a cannon to sneak meth and tobacco into a federal prison.

The sheriff’s office said an investigation led deputies to learn the suspects from Greeley planned to use a cannon, propelled by compressed air, to launch $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of meth into the prison.

Deputies said the cannon, which could shoot items 350 feet into the air, would launch the items over the federal prison’s security fence and onto prison grounds.

The two suspects, 18-year-old Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz and 19-year-old Angel Gonzales Gutierrez, both from Greeley, are facing charges of attempting to introduce contraband into a penal institution and attempting to distribute methamphetamine.

The sheriff’s office also said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also assisted in the investigation and detained Munoz who was reportedly in the U.S. illegally.

In aggregate, it’s just sad for the people on both sides of the prison fence. Addiction sucks.
