A mother and daughter attempted to sneak a loaded clip of ammunition to an inmate being held at the lockup in Waterbury, Conn., Superior Court last Wednesday, state police said. Lynda Schoon-Lang, 60, and her 28-year-old daughter Zsakieta hid the clip in a pair of sneakers they were bringing in to the courthouse as part of a change of clothing for an inmate who had a court appearance that day, said Sgt. J. Paul Vance, a state police spokesman. Judicial marshals discovered the ammunition when the pair tried to pass through the courthouse security checkpoint just before 10 a.m. After discovering the clip, the courthouse was evacuated and authorities searched the courthouse and its surrounding area for a gun. No gun was found and the courthouse reopened at 12:15 p.m. The women were charged with conveying contraband to an inmate, aiding and conspiring to transfer a weapon into a court or correctional facility, and breach of peace. They were each being held in lieu of $250,000 bond. The incident came less than a week after a man killed a judge and three others inside an Atlanta courthouse. "This is very rare," Vance said. "Entering any building, you are subject to monitoring and search. Judicial marshals are very thorough in doing that work." |
