‘Horse’ burrito plot snared cop
A DIMWITTED former sheriff’s deputy in Los Angeles will spend two years behind bars for trying to slip courthouse jail prisoners a burrito stuffed with heroin.
Henry Marin, 27, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to smuggling drugs into a jail.
The former deputy was nailed in a sting operation at the Airport Branch Courthouse in February 2010.
Prosecutors said Marin accepted the drug-filled Mexican staple from a woman working with a sheriff’s team investigating smuggling at the courthouse.
The bean-and-cheese burrito was filled with 24 grams of black tar heroin, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Marin later said he didn’t know the burrito was stuffed with smack.
