Filed under "Da law is da law." Former prison guard charged with illegal possession of hamburgers

A former north Alabama prison guard was arrested Tuesday and now faces a litany of charges, including promoting contraband in a state prison.

The forbidden items?

Hamburgers.

Online court records show that former Limestone Correctional Facility officer Jason Chambers and his wife Sophia Chambers surrendered to the Limestone County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday after the Alabama Department of Corrections issued warrants for their arrests.

The rest at https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/former-prison-guard-charged-with-illegal-possession-of-hamburgers/ar-AA15zyKu?ocid=msedgdhp&cvid=1ed142cdab24407cadbb7c0724ad3807

The other two charges are related to possession of a smart watch and a National Geographic magazine.

Seems as it the legal system here is trying its damndest to live up to stereotypes.

Plus it's nice to get one's head out of the weather and news for a moment here and there. Cheers all!
