GRANT PARISH, La. (KKTV/Gray News) - Two men were arrested after attempting to use a cannon to sneak meth and tobacco into a federal prison.

According to authorities, 18-year-old Jose Francisco Herrera Munoz and 19-year-old Angel Gonzales Gutierrez are facing charges of attempting to introduce contraband into a penal institution and attempting to distribute methamphetamine.

The Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office said an investigation led deputies to learn the suspects planned to use a cannon to launch $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of meth into a federal prison.

Deputies said the cannon, which could shoot items 350 feet into the air, would launch the items over the federal prison’s security fence and onto prison grounds.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also assisted in the investigation and detained Munoz who was reportedly in the U.S. illegally.

I am shocked, just shocked that people who can strike a mugshot pose as well as these two fine gentlemen would be into meth.

with such interest and aptitude for launching things the boyz should've found jobs at spacex instead of wasting their time doing this kind of shit...

These fellas strike me as straight shooters with upper management written all over them.

Hmmm...not that I spend very much time thinking about how to smuggle contraband into prisons, but...

Wouldn't it be easier to send a drone over the yard and make a drop?
