Early last week an inmate from one of the prison units in Sugar Land, you know ... the ones along US 90A and Texas 99, walked over to a convenience store and returned. How conn-veen-ient!

Reportedly, this inmate, described as a low risk offender who was assigned Trustee status, had a hanker’n for that demon weed tobacco. Unable to get what he needed inside the prison, he just walked over to the store, made his purchase and walked back. 

No harm, no foul?

Well, according to officials, the prison is now in one of its semiannual lockdowns as this allegation is investigated.  Begs more than one question, huh? Could the perimeter guards not see him walk’n across the open fields?  What’s an inmate doing with money? And most importantly, clearly they need to start stock’n his brand of tobacco inside, at least till they release him for real ... a guy could get worn out do’n all that hoof‘n.

Guess it was a good thing he was a Trustee and so trustworthy that he walked back in.

Wander what he has up his sleeve next? Taking the Warden’s car for a spin?
