It wasn't quite a crime of biblical proportions, but it may have a Long Island man doing penance.
A probationary Nassau County correctional officer with 11 months on the job was arrested after contraband was allegedly found on him during a search when he arrived at the jail in East Meadow, according to the district attorney's office. Seized in that search was a Bible, its pages coated with K2, which is a synthetic version of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, prosecutors said. A cellphone, which isn't permitted inside, was also seized.
Though the Bible is similar to ones sold in the jail commissary, it is unclear at this point where the one in this particular incident came from.It wasn't immediately clear what the officer, identified by prosecutors as Javel Welch, 38 and from West Hempstead, intended to do with the Bible, nor were the specific charges against him known.
