TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — A woman in Mississippi is accused of doing something bad with the good book. The sheriff in Lee County tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that a woman dropped off a Bible for an inmate convicted last week of methamphetamine trafficking and awaiting transfer to state prison.
