A Mexican woman has been arrested for trying to sneak her husband out of prison in a suitcase following a conjugal visit.
Maria del Mar Arjona, 19, was stopped as she left the prison in Chetumal, the capital of the Caribbean state Quintana Roo.
Staff became suspicious as the young woman seemed nervous and was struggling with a black, wheeled suitcase which looked particularly bulky.
Police spokesman Gerardo Campos said prison guards checked the bag and found inmate Juan Ramirez Tijerina curled up inside.
Convicted in 2007, Ramirez is serving a 20-year sentence for illegal weapons possession.
He is thought to be a member of the Sinaloa drugs cartel.
Arjona has been arrested and charges are pending.
