Hold Up: Louisiana Prisoners Made A Fake Gun Out Of Soap & Toilet Paper In A Failed Plot To Escape Jail!

Troy Benner, 49, planned to break out of a detention center in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, and was assisted by Treiston Pierron, 32, with an object “hand-crafted to appear to be a handgun,” but “composed of soap, toilet paper and other materials” – most of which are available to inmates. The inmates also intended to use a handcuff key, which officers discovered in one of the cells. They later discovered the fake gun, which helped officers foil the alleged escape plot. The inmates obtained the key from a correction officer who had unknowingly dropped it. Posted By Persist
