La, Rapper Lil Boosie, already in prison facing charges of murder, was charged Thursday for allegedly trying to enter the drug cocktail "sizzurp" in a second prison.
According to CBS affiliate WAFB, a 28-year-old Baton Rouge rapper, whose real name is Torrence Hatch is accused of trying to get the mixture of codeine in the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.
Hatch, who is serving time in a job-related drug, is already under indictment on a charge of conspiring to bring illegal drugs in the Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson. He is also awaiting trial on a charge of first degree murder, which could land him the death penalty.
Hatch last charge was the result of his May 25 arrest by the Louisiana State Police, who said he was working with two Baton Rouge men to smuggle contraband into the prison in Angola. These men, Titus Franklin and Arthur Stewart, both 27, were also charged Thursday.
An East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury indicted Hatch in a charge of criminal conspiracy to smuggle to and from a penal institution, and another count of inciting a felony. Franklin and Stewart were each charged with one count of criminal conspiracy and one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance.
According to WAFB, a probable cause affidavit said a "confidential source" informed the authorities about the drug trafficking scheme. That source told authorities that on April 9, Stewart Hatch ordered to mix one ounce of syrup codeine, with a soft color and give the bottle to Franklin, the affidavit said.
Hatch said Franklin to give the bottle of syrup for a person who believes that he worked in security in Angola, the affidavit says. That person was actually a state trooper.
