Convicted murderer Scott Doll allegedly tried to smuggle aspirin into the Genesee County Jail.
Chief Deputy Jerome Brewster said that lab results came back this morning on the white powder reportedly found hidden on Doll's body.
Brewster said the green balloon containing the aspirin was taped to Doll's inner buttocks.
"I have no idea why (he hid aspirin on his body), Brewster said.
Doll still faces a count of promoting prison contraband, because even aspirin can't be snuck into the jail.
If the substance had turned out to be any kind of more serious drug, the charges would have been elevated, Brewster said.
Doll was allegedly found with the balloon on his body during a routine jail processing search after he was convicted May 21 of killing 66-year-old Joseph Benaquist by bludgeoning him to death outside his Pembroke home on Feb. 16, 2009.
Doll is scheduled to appear on June 29 in City Court to answer the charge of promoting prison contraband.
He will be sentenced on the murder charge on July 2. He faces a sentence of either 15 years to life or 25 years to life.
R U Kidding Me? What a
R U Kidding Me? What a moron!
I don't think he knew it was
I don't think he knew it was aspirin, which says something about the people he trusted. I really hope he is guilty, since that was the verdict. His lawyer should plead insanity and go for a do over. Life is very strange, at times. Don't I know it, and I'm sure everyone reading this knows it too.
