According to police, a North Carolina man was charged with posing as a pastor and entering a state prison for smuggling drugs with Bibles on them.
Scottish County Police wrote on Facebook Wednesday that on December 31, they found James Morman III posing as a priest at the Scottish County Detention Center in North Carolina, delivering drugs to prisoners holding Bibles.
Police said they found the drugs in the Bible that Mohrman brought to prison. According to official sources, both Mohrman and prisoner Bryson Brown have been arrested.
According to the agents, the two were charged with possession of controlled substances in prisons or detention facilities, felonies of delivering controlled substances to prisoners, and simple misdemeanors.
Following the incident, the police conducted a thorough search of the detention facility in order to detect other prohibited and illegal substances throughout the detention facility. Authorities say more charges will be made in the coming days.
"The following individuals are accused of possessing controlled substances under the North Carolina Controlled Substances Act and are also charged with carrying contraband in a Detention Facility in North Carolina,
After investigation, a comprehensive inventory of the detention facility was conducted on Monday, December 31, 2018, and illegal substances and items such as contraband were found. ”
Last December, an inmate at a South Carolina prison filed a lawsuit against the state prison service, saying the agency violated his religious freedom by not allowing him to wear dirty pigtails or smoke marijuana.
James Rose, 41, argued in the lawsuit that the South Carolina Correctional Service's refusal to provide him with marijuana violated his Rastafarian religious beliefs.
The 41-year-old, who was sentenced to life in prison after being murdered in 2013, also claimed to have been forced to cut his hair.
Ross said the agency illegally cut his dirty braids in April 2017 and said his religion allowed him to grow his hair to "infinite length."
