Pigeon Caught Trying To Fly Drugs Into Prison, Sentenced To 40 Days In Jail

First it was a cat, then an iguana and now a pigeon. Yep, they’ve all been caught trying to smuggle drugs into a Costa Rican prison.
According to metro.co.uk, on Tuesday guards the La Reforma Penitentia, in San Jose, captured a bird that had 14 grams of cocaine and 14 grams of marijuana strapped to it in a little bag.
 
‘They observed the bulge on the animal so they captured it and confirmed that it carried a bag with zipper – and the drugs were inside… It seems the dove was trained for it,’ said Prison director Paul Bertozzi.
 
The pigeon is apparently being locked up for 40 days so it doesn’t head straight back to the people who sent it. Metro uk.
