Virginia prison authorities caught a visitor trying to smuggle drugs into the Augusta Correctional Center in an unusual hiding spot: their dentures.
Officials with the state's Department of Corrections said 10 pills were found hidden under the visitor's false teeth, WRIC-TV reported.
The visitor was trying to get into the prison to see a family member who is incarcerated at the jail.
The unidentified person is now facing a number of charges, including conspiracy, attempted delivery of drugs to a prison and possession.
Prison officials did not release any more information on the case.
