34 year old prison officer Miguel Coc was busted in prison yesterday – allegedly – with just over a pound of marijuana. Coc had just reported to work when the bust occurred. A fellow prison officer searched his black kit bag and allegedly found the cannabis stuffed into two packs of ramen noodles and in a maroon coloured shirt.

He was charged with drug trafficking in court today and pleaded not guilty. He was released on bail of five thousand dollars and his case was adjourned until the new year.
