A Los Angeles deputy was sentenced to two years in jail Monday after attempting to smuggle a heroin-filled burrito to a jail inmate.

Former deputy, Henry Marin, 27, pleaded no contest to the charges of the smuggling. As part of a plea deal, Marin was sentenced to two years in prison as opposed to three and the conspiracy charges were dropped.

According to a Los Angeles County Grand Jury indictment, Marin allegedly was conspiring with an undercover investigator regarding brining the drug-filled food item to the inmate locked up at Airport Branch Courthouse located in Los Angeles in February of 2010.

He later told authorities that he planned to inspect the burrito before giving it to the inmate and claimed to be unaware of the drugs inside.

While home, a woman rang the doorbell. The boy did not recognize the woman so he ignored it and continued to watch his siblings.

Soon after the ringing of the doorbell, the boy heard a bang on the door resulting in him rushing his siblings upstairs where the boy retrieved a handgun from his parent’s bedroom.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a crime wasn’t committed when a 32-year old man had sex with a 17-year old girl, but the pictures he took crossed the line.

The man, Marshall Hollins, was arrested in March 2009 and charged with three counts of child pornography, but not statutory rape. The age of consent in Illinois is 17, but it is illegal to photograph anyone under the age of 18 engaged in a sexual act.

Hollins was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to eight years in prison, but appealed his conviction. After a 5-2 ruling, the high court upheld his sentence.
