Wife busted while sneaking prisoner out of jail


A woman has been caught trying to sneak her common-law-husband out of a Mexican prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.

Staff at the prison in Chetumal on Monday noticed that the woman seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky, police say.

Prison guards checked the bag of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the foetal position.

Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.

Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.
