LANCASTER, NH — A Coos County Superior Court grand jury has returned felony indictments against a prison inmate and his visitor, alleging that the woman who came to see Jesse Labelle this spring at the state prison in Berlin tried to smuggle drugs to him in a bag of popcorn. Both Jesse Labelle, 33, of East Milan Road, Berlin, and Tracy Labelle, 37, of Champlain Street, Berlin, were charged with conspiracy to commit the crime of delivery of articles to prisoners, a Class B felony. Telephone calls – “in furtherance of the conspiracy” – were made between the two on April 3 and April 6, in which they discussed the matter of “obtaining contraband, and the money situation related to the plan to deliver contraband,” according to the indictments. On April 7, Tracy Labelle, arrived at Northern Correctional Facility in Berlin for a scheduled visit and attempted to deliver to Jesse Labelle “three blue pills” after she went into a prison bathroom and placed her hand into a bag of popcorn the two were sharing, before “directing it to J. Labelle.” Coos County prosecutors were not available Monday to discuss the case. New Hampshire Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey Lyons said Monday that Jesse Labelle had served time for a 2006 robbery conviction and a conviction for receiving stolen property, both in Coos County. He had been paroled in April 2010, but appears to have been serving additional time last April on a parole violation, according to Lyons. Read More. |
