Decadent Drone Feast Bound For Prison Inmates Revealed

A drone carrying steak, crab legs, cigarettes and cannabis was intercepted by prison guards, according to authorities at the Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina. Images of the contraband were posted by the South Carolina Department of Corrections, and feature two cartons of smokes, a large sealed bag of marijuana and a tin of Old Bay seasoning. “Seems some folks were planning an early holiday Old Bay crab boil and steak dinner along with their marijuana and cigarettes—all dropped by a drone at Lee CI,” the department said. According to the Associated Press, the drone was seized on Sunday morning, before inmates could reach it, although no arrests have been made. Prisons spokesperson Chrysti Shain said, “I’m guessing the inmates who were expecting the package are crabby.” In South Carolina, flying a drone near a prison can land you 30 days in jail, while dropping contraband can earn you up to 10 years inside. It comes after Xavier Martez Delesline, 33, became the second inmate in a week to die at the facility on Wednesday, after he was allegedly assaulted in a common area, WIS10 reports. Officers are treating it as a “suspected homicide.” It comes one day after a fatal assault on inmate Mario Leven Harrison.
