Cops: Man Tosses Football Full of Drugs Into Prison

Points for creativity, at least. Michigan authorities say a man attempted to chuck a football filled with drugs and cellphones into the exercise yard of a state prison in Jackson.

Robert Cotton Correctional Facility saw him throw it, and Christen D. Moore ended up behind bars himself on contraband charges.

The ball had heroin, marijuana, and tobacco, along with three cellphones and some chargers, reports the Detroit Free Press.
