The state Department of Public Safety last week called it “Operation Paper Shredder,” yielding five arrests in three cases of drugs smuggled into correctional facilities here. In one, a letter was mailed with methamphetamine inside, but in two cases the suspects soaked drugs in the paper itself. They are facing Class B felony charges.

Try Googling “drug-soaked paper,” and stories about inmates getting contraband that way are all over the place. Not such a clever trick, if the agents are all aware.
