The plot allegedly involved Tax requesting a list of items from a cohort on the outside who was to bring the items to the jail and attach them to a hook that would be placed outside the window by Tax and his coconspirators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We gonna throw the line out from that gate so you just run right in the gate and you hook it to the line cause there\u2019s a hook on the end of the line we got right now. You just going to hook it and just dip back out. Sturdy,&#8221; Tax said in an April 19, 2024 recording, according to the feds.<\/p>\n<p>After a failed attempt in May of 2024, another attempt was made in June of 2024. However, the plot was discovered after the outside man was confronted by jail staff and fled. Tax&#8217;s codefendants were found out after one of the men fell off a trash bin they had set up next to the window to retrieve the items. The would-be haul included\u00a0a large quantity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ema.europa.eu\/en\/medicines\/human\/EPAR\/suboxone\" target=\"_blank\">Suboxone<\/a> and nearly 30 small bags of weed, a scalpel, a cell phone charger, two lighters and more than 400 cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>Tax and his codefendants face up to 10 additional years in prison for the smuggling attempt.<\/p>\n<h4>Read More: <a
