Suitcase Prison Escape: Maria Del Mar Arjona Tries To Sneak Juan Ramirez Tijerina Out Of Mexican Jail

CHETUMAL, Mexico (AP) -- 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.

I heard the inmate was going to break up with this woman anyway, because she had too much baggage.---Ty Treadwell, author of Last Suppers: Famous Final Meals from Death Row

That was pretty dumb, of course they are going to check your suitcase.

Who needs a girlfriend? From the look of how tightly he is folded up in that suitcase, this guy seems able to have a conjugal visit by himself.

Is that a reenactment, or was someone just waiting there with a camera?
