A woman used a T-shirt cannon to launch a drug-filled care package into a prison yard, officials say
The T-shirt cannon used by Kerri Jo Hickman on Sunday to launch contraband over a prison fence. By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow March 19 at 11:01 PM Kerri Jo Hickman didn’t cut corners while crafting her care packages.
Aiming a T-shirt cannon from the window of her vehicle, Hickman fired one of the contraband-filled bottles over the prison fence, Matt Elliot, spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, told The Post. The aerial drop-off was immediately noticed by prison staff, who reportedly saw the package “fly out of the vehicle” and onto prison grounds, where it landed near a housing unit.
The housing unit was immediately locked down, and officials are investigating to determine which inmate, or inmates, Hickman was targeting. She drove off after firing the first bottle and hopped on Interstate 40, where Oklahoma Highway Patrol arrested her for drug trafficking, conspiracy and introducing contraband into a correctional facility.Elliot said he’s seen people use a litany of methods to sneak contraband into prisons, but Hickman’s use of a T-shirt cannon was unique.
