Two Louisiana women have been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle crystal methamphetamine inside a Bible to a Walker, LA man jailed in the Livingston Parish Detention Center.

Sheriff's deputies told The Advocate that a 28-year-old woman allegedly delivered a Bible containing methamphetamine to the detention center. They said a 35-year-old woman allegedly gave the drug-containing Bible to the jailed man.

The intended recipient, a 30-year-old man, has been in jail since October on a variety of drug-related arrests.

The jailed man was booked with entering contraband into a penal institution, and the 35-year-old woman was booked with being a principal to entering contraband into a penal institution. It was not revealed how the alert authorities uncovered the smuggling attempt.
