Woman sentenced for smuggling cocaine in Bibles
August 7, 2006 - A Huntington Circuit judge Monday sentenced a woman to serve six months in prison for smuggling cocaine to her jailed husband inside two Bibles.
Twenty-eight-year-old Amy Duckworth was sentenced to four years each on two charges of trafficking with an inmate, and ordered to serve 90 days on each count. The remainder of both terms was suspended, to be served as probation.
Duckworth doesn't have a criminal history.
Her husband, Anthony Duckworth, was in jail on a misdemeanor charge of visiting a common nuisance.
Meanwhile, her 29-year-old husband's sentencing on the same charges as his wife was continued Monday because of an apparent misunderstanding over a plea agreement.
Another hearing was scheduled for August 14th.

This story is even better because the woman's name is Duckworth, it makes it even more quirky. 3nodding
I hope these people can turn away from a life of drug abuse and crime though. That kind of behaviour is just sad.
