body.<\/p>\n<p>The black-and-white feline, carrying over 230 grams of marijuana and 67 grams of crack cocaine in two packages, was captured this month at a prison in the canton of Pococi, the justice ministry said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/988952466737686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">statement <\/a>last week.<\/p>\n<p>The <a
