The Texas Department of Criminal Justice says an employee at Grimes County’s Luther Unit has been arrested for bringing contraband into the facility.
They say that Benson Lu was arrested January 9, when he admitted to bringing in 8 packs of Lucky Strike cigarettes, and having additional contraband items in his vehicle, which included 2 Motorola cell phones, two cartons of Newport cigarettes, and two more packs of Lucky Strike cigarettes.
This arrest follows TDCJ announcing they found contraband at the trustee pond at the prison last month, but did not mention if the two cases are related.
Lu remains in jail.
