Her ‘Religious’ Packages Hid a Dark Secret—Now She’s Behind Bars [WATCH]

A California woman learned the hard way that crime doesn’t pay—especially when it involves smuggling heroin into prison using Bibles.

Lucresia Stone-Rojas, 46, was sentenced to seven years behind bars after federal authorities caught her attempting to send drug-laced religious texts to inmates.

As reported by The New York Post, her downfall started on November 12, 2023, when a stolen Porsche flagged by a license plate reader led police straight to her in El Cajon.

Using religious texts as a front for smuggling hard drugs is not just criminal but downright depraved, showcasing a complete lack of respect for both faith and the law. It’s a brazen betrayal of the very principles those books represent, turning symbols of hope and redemption into tools of destruction.

But Stone-Rojas wasn’t done making headlines. On December 27, 2023, federal investigators uncovered her real side hustle—drug trafficking into the state prison system.

When they searched packages and envelopes she had addressed to inmates, they found two Bibles stuffed with 23 grams of heroin tucked away in the spines.

Acting U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden made it clear that this kind of operation won’t be tolerated. “Smuggling drugs into our prisons endangers both the inmates and the correctional staff. It will not be tolerated,” he said.

“Hopefully, this case will serve as a warning to anyone who would be willing to abuse the tools of faith and rehabilitation to perpetuate addiction and despair.”

Using religious texts as a front for smuggling hard drugs is not just criminal but downright depraved. While the left continues to push for softer penalties and early releases, cases like this prove why a strong justice system is essential.

Stone-Rojas will now have plenty of time to reflect—without her heroin-laced Bibles.
