MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee County executive says a loaded handgun that was smuggled into the county jail was found in a load of dirty laundry.

County Executive Chris Abele (AY'-blee) says the gun was discovered Monday in laundry that was taken to the Milwaukee County House of Correction for cleaning.
