MANSFIELD, Ohio — A drone dropped a package of drugs into a prison yard while inmates were outside, sparking a fight, prison officials said.
The package was dropped July 29 at the Mansfield Correctional Institution, about 65 miles southwest of Cleveland. It contained almost a quarter of an ounce of heroin, over 2 ounces of marijuana and more than 5 ounces of tobacco, JoEllen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, told the Mansfield News Journal (http://ohne.ws/1IDHjVN ).
Smith said there have been other instances of drones breaching security and the agency is taking steps to increase awareness and improve drone detection.

Doesn’t anyone skeet shoot anymore?
The guards on the wall are armed aren’t they?
Dropping weed in the middle of a gimme dat yard, that’s like ghetto rugby
LOL
And other contraband? just as easy.
Next, it’ll be weapons.
Shoot, a feller could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff!
That prison is located near some businesses on Rt13 and the back side of the grounds on Rt 545 is resididental.Shooting in the air with rifles would be a bad idea.Better issue some shotguns with birdshot.
I guess we’re in the 21st century!
Find out who it was intended for and give them the heroin all at once.
Heck, that’s what I thought wall guards were armed with. Something to break up yard fights.
Post of the day!
They need to hire that guy from Kentucky. He’s pretty good at bagging drones.
There is a movie script in this somewhere.
What a creative use of drones! A solid “A”. And we all know it’s just the beginning of how these things will be used, for good and for ill.
Definitely creative. Scary to think what could be smuggled in with drones.
How will the prisons combat this? Shotguns? Detection systems? Turning yards into giant cages with tops?
Shotguns would probably work for most prison setups, if this becomes a common occurrence. But we are only seeing the beginning of what people will do with these things.
The government will outlaw drone usage from the general public real soon. The lame stream media has marching orders to do their best to portray drones as weapons and/or major safety concerns. They really don’t like non-government average Joes having eyes in the sky on the cheap.
A drug pinata. Now that’s funny
