CONTORTIONIST'S ATTEMPTED PRISON ESCAPE FAILS

What’s surprising to me is that the wheelie piece of luggage was small enough to fit in the overhead compartment of an airliner. When he gets out of prison, Juan can sneak across the U.S. border and get himself a spot on NBC’s America’s Got Talent TV show. That could lead to a money-making nationwide tour as a contortionist.

CHETUMAL, Mexico—Police say a woman was caught trying to sneak her common-law-husband out of a Mexican prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.

A spokesman for police in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo says staff at the prison in Chetumal noticed that the woman seemed nervous and was pulling a black, wheeled suitcase that looked bulky.

Spokesman Gerardo Campos said Monday that prison guards checked the bag of 19-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside in the fetal position.

Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.

Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.
