Brazilian Teen Shoots Cellphones Into Jail With Bow and Arrow [Hardtime]

Considering it less uncomfortable than other methods of sneaking cellphones into prisons, a Brazilian gang hired an area teenager to launch phones over prison walls with a bow and arrow. Their plot was foiled when one hit a guard:

Authorities say the boy was caught after one of the crucial arrows he launched struck a police officer on the back. The officer was not seriously injured because the cellular phone was tied to the end of the arrow and softened the impact.

Oh good. The teen did be ready to successfully fire off four arrow-phones before that, though, so all in all maybe this plan was not as stupid as it sounds. [ AP via Engadget ]
