Two Colorado men were arrested in Grant Parish after they attempted to smuggle contraband into a federal prison. The two men attempted to smuggle $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of methamphetamine into the Grant Parish Detention Facility. Their attempt was unsuccessful due to "a very observant deputy," stated by Grant Parish Sheriff Steven McCain, who was able to stop them before the drugs made it inside the prison.
18-year-old Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz, and 19-year-old Angel Gonzales Gutierrez’s plan involved launching contraband over the prison’s security fence using a compressed air cannon. The cannon was capable of propelling items over 350 feet in the air. However, Grant Parish deputies were urgent and attentive and were able to put a stop to their reckless experiment.
