Wichita Falls: Henna Havila Martinez has been sentenced to six years in prison for smuggling drugs into various prisons in Texas by hiding them in Bibles and other religious texts. She used to send them to inmates by smearing synthetic cannabinoids (drugs) in a solution on the inside and pages of the Bibles.

Officers from the James V. Allred Unit found the suspicious-looking Bibles during a search. The investigation led to a courier center in Wichita Falls and from there to the suspect. Authorities also seized approximately 2.2 kilograms (4.9 pounds) of drugs during a search of Henna's home.
