A guard at the Laflore County Jail in Greenwood, Miss.,
has found himself on the other side of the law for pot allegedly found hidden in his mashed potatoes.
The Corrections Corp. of America employee was arrested last weekend when suspicious investigators looked into his lunch delivered by an unidentified woman, the Greenwood (Miss.) Commonwealth reports.
The guard had been quoted saying he did not eat potatoes, but the lunch delivered to him included a large portion of mashed spuds, prompting officials to check out the container where they found two ounces of marijuana and $200, Leflore County Sheriff Ricky Banks said.
The Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics had been trying for some time to determine how contraband was getting into the jail, Banks said.
The guard, Robert Earl Hannon, was released Tuesday on $15,000 bond.
