TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) - June 4, 2008

Jordan Michael Waller, 25, tried to enter the Miller County jail with three pizzas at 3 a.m. Saturday, said Mike Liles, a county investigator. Twenty minutes later, Waller brought in what appeared to be a large bag containing chili and tacos, Liles said.

A jail sergeant became suspicious, searched the food and found marijuana that had been formed into three round patties under some chili and a couple of syringes inside tacos.

Waller was searched and found to also be carrying methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, Liles said.

Waller was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and furnishing prohibited items into a correctional facility.

Waller, who had worked at the lockup for two months, was in custody Tuesday. His bond was set at $100,000.

The public defender's office said its attorneys had yet to talk to Waller, whose next court appearance is scheduled for June 17.
