Officials say a drone dropped a package of drugs into an Ohio prison yard while inmates were outside, sparking a fight.
The package was dropped July 29 at the Mansfield Correctional
Institution, in Ohio. A spokeswoman for the Department of Rehabilitation
and Correction says it contained almost a quarter of an ounce of
heroin, over 2 ounces of marijuana and more than 5 ounces of tobacco.
Officials say video footage shows the drone over recreation yards immediately before a fight began.
An investigation determined the drone dropped a package intended for an
inmate on the north recreation yard, and it was thrown over a fence to
the south recreation yard.
The inmates were separated and searched. No injuries were reported.
