Texas woman sentenced to 6 years in prison for mailing for K2-laced bibles to inmates

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KVII) — A Texas woman was sentenced to six years years in prison for mailing K2-laced bibles to inmates.

Henna Havila Martinez pleaded guilty to mailing synthetic cannabinoids and narcotics to prisons.

The investigation began when staff at the Allred Unit near Wichita Falls noticed leather-covered bibles with heavily saturated sheets of paper. The paper tested positive for synthetic cannabinoids.

Investigators traced the packages back to the Office Depot in Wichita Falls, where store surveillance showed Martinez using the self-checkout to mail packages to inmates.

During a search of her home, police seized 4.9 lbs. of synthetic cannabinoids in various forms, including liquid, powder and sheets.

“Smuggling drugs into prisons endangers the lives of both the inmates and staff,” said OIG Inspector General Lance Coleman. “We remain committed to identifying and prosecuting those who attempt to compromise the safety of our correctional facilities.”
