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.
Prison inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina is curled inside a suitcase after he tried to escape from prison with the help of his girlfriend following a conjugal visit in Chetumal, Mexico.
Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.
Arjona was arrested and charges are pending.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 10:57amI hear that Van der Sloot who most suredly killed Natalie Holloway and killed the young woman ? South America – has also been allowed sex visits and the woman is pregnant.
IF IT”S TRUE – oh, joy, we allowed another jerk to procreate just so he can relieve his sexual tension in prison.
Again, there are times when I think we are a race of idiots.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 10:32amA 20-year sentence for “illegal weapons possession”? He was not convicted of USING THEM to commit a crime, just having them. If we keep up our current course, it won’t be long before we start having to serve 20-year sentences for possession of a gun!
I feel sorry for this guy and his wife. He did NOTHING to hurt anyone else!

The 64$ ? was, did he get to have his phpiece before he was trussed up in the suitcase?
I think a suitcase mfg company should sign this pair to do commercials for their product..
