McALESTER, Okla. - Basketballs are usually puffed up with air, but somebody found a way of inflating one with a substance usually associated with puffing of another kind.



Oklahoma State Penitentiary officials cut into an exercise-yard basketball and found nearly two pounds of what is believed to be marijuana stuffed inside.


Acting on a tip from McAlester police, prison officials searched the yard and found the basketball, which held 30 one-ounce packets of the leafy substance.


They seized the basketball from the Talawanda Heights unit, which houses 65 minimum security inmates for the prison and sits away from the main part of the facility.


Department of Corrections spokeswoman Linda Morgan said two inmates are on lockdown in connection with the seizure.


Morgan said officials don't know how the basketball got on the prison grounds.

You would think they'd figure it out when the guys lit the ball and just stared at the clouds......that one looks like bubbas.....

hey, I'm going to give the drug dealers credit for this one. I think it is increadable intellegent. especially the logistics of getting the ball into the jail. they must had gotten a new package and sneeked it in with a whole set of new balls. the engineering required to get the mary j (in packets) into the ball, seal the ball then inflate the ball is increadable. I'm impressed.
