Man Hides Inside Suitcase In Prison Escape Attempt

Man Inside Suitcase

First Posted: 06/07/11 20:22 BST Updated: 05/09/11 11:12 BST   PA

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

A spokesman for police in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo said staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that the woman seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky.

Spokesman Gerardo Campos said prison guards checked the bag of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the fetal position.

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

Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.

A little obvious? Reminds me of that Far Side where the guy's trying to steal a grand piano by hiding it under his coat.

And how's this any different than what airlines do to passengers, cramming them in the same amount of space as a suitcase?

I guess his mother never told him to wear clean socks, because you never know when you're gonna get busted by the cops trying to sneak out of prison in a suitcase.
