A woman visiting a San Quentin Death Row inmate appeared to be pregnant, but instead of carrying a child she was holding a helping of peach cobbler, 18 cell phones and three ounces of heroin under her garments, prison officials said.

Teri Nichols, 47, a teacher’s assistant from Los Angeles, was arrested on Thursday in the prison visitor’s room during her meeting with a condemned murderer Bruce Millsap, 50.

Guards became suspicious when they noticed plastic ziplock bags in a nearby trashcan that Nichols allegedly used to smuggle in a helping of peach cobbler and greens to her friend, Millsap, a convicted serial murderer. They confronted Nichols, who handed over the phones and drugs, along with 18 phone chargers, that she had hidden inside a beanie cap beneath her clothes. The beanie was attached with a string to her bra and designed to make her look pregnant, officials said.

“It was very, very sophisticated,” said Lt. Samuel Robinson, a prison spokesman. “We’re still trying to figure out how she beat our metal detector.”

Millsap, 50, who was convicted in 2000 of eight murders in Southern California, including the robbery and murder of two armored-car guards, one in Long Beach in 1995 and the other in Carson in 1996.

Millsap had eaten the smuggled food and was apparently just about to receive the other contraband when guards interceded, Robinson said.

“He got the cobbler and greens,” Robinson said. “You got to get your cobbler and greens before you get down to business.”

...

Robinson said the phones were intended for resale inside the prison, where each one is worth $1,000 or so.

I would start by checking the power cord ;P

That's a real ride or die.

“You got to get your cobbler and greens before you get down to business.”

What greens does one have with peach cobbler?

 

[Acorn]

Greens with a dessert?

First pineapple on pizza, now this. These monsters must all be imprisoned

 

[sangreal]

That doesn't sound sophisticated at all actually. It's a hat full of shit hanging from her bra and it worked. Probably corruption at fault rather than the metal detector

 

[Kayhan]

Don't laugh, GAF.

When you are in prison some peach cobbler can really hit the spot.

Ding ding ding. As for the cobbler I don't blame the guy, I imagine that stuff tastes like pure ambrosia when you're behind bars.

Before I read the full article I thought she'd smuggled it inside of her and I couldn't work out how that would be even possible.

Scary thought.

The peach cobbler alone is worth the trouble.

[Wereroku]

Wait I thought you could recieve stuff like cobbler why did she need to smuggle that?

 

[Lagamorph]

First it's cobbler, next it's Watermelon

 

[King Tubby]

8 murders, holy shit. Here's an article about Bruce Millsap's conviction.

Where does a prisoner get 1k to pay for a phone?

 

[King Tubby]

Where does a prisoner get 1k to pay for a phone?

Probably from selling drugs inside. Also, given that he was in a gang, he probably is still being taken care of financially for not ratting on other people.

This is hilarious.

“You got to get your cobbler and greens before you get down to business.”

Words to live by

 

[Extra Sauce]

That's pretty brilliant. Where is it from?

 

[Loke13]

That's pretty brilliant. Where is it from?

A movie on Netflix. Not Cool.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Where does a prisoner get 1k to pay for a phone?

I'm guessing one could also trade other goods worth the equivalent in cash value, e.g. cigarettes, or ramen.

The Beagle Boys ruined it for everyone.

I like how he says this like it's some kind of common knowledge.

 

[Stinkles]

One at a time, tardis-keester!

 

[Wag]

I want to go to that party.
