"After observing the passenger exit the vehicle and throw the football, our officer ran towards the vehicle and drew his Taser and told the driver to stop, which he did," said Russ Marlan, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Moore, 32, is charged with crimes related to smuggling cell phones, heroin and marijuana to prisoners.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka said that each charge is a five-year felony. "We take very seriously the security of our prisons and will prosecute any violations of contraband that occur," Jarzynka said.
