California inmates at Fresno County Jail used string pulled from their sheets to fish for drugs outside of their windows, authorities said. Manuel Ramos, 20, of Huron, was arrested last week on a charge of attempting to smuggle drugs into the jail, officials said. A state parole agent leaving the jail said she saw Ramos standing in a flower bed tying drinking straws to a line hanging from an inmate's window. The straws were filled with tobacco, marijuana and methamphetamine. In recent weeks, jail officials have noticed half-inch holes in some inmates' windows. Inmates heat the plastic and then use shower rods to punch the holes, said Marilyn Weldon, a jail lieutenant. The jail will order metal covers placed on the windows, Weldon said. |
