Texas Correctional Officer Arrested for Smuggling Tobacco in Burritos: A Third-Degree Felony Case
A 66-year-old correctional officer from Henderson, James Byron Thibodeaux, faces serious charges after smuggling tobacco into a prison using burritos. Thibodeaux, who worked at the Bradshaw Unit in Rusk County, was arrested on a third-degree felony for bringing prohibited items into the facility. He admitted to hiding tobacco in burritos and dropping them for an inmate to pick up, receiving payment through Cash App. The incident highlights ongoing challenges with contraband in prisons and the trust issues it creates. Thibodeaux was booked into Rusk County Jail and released on a $15,000 bond. If convicted, he could face two to twenty years in prison and fines up to $10,000. The case is still pending in the courts.
