Federal prosecutors charged 12 people in what they describe as the largest coordinated drone-smuggling operation ever prosecuted by the US Department of Justice, alleging the group used drones to deliver drugs, cell phones, weapons and other contraband into federal prisons across eight states.

A 17-count federal indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges the conspiracy operated from September 2023 through May 2026 and relied on at least six drones to carry out 38 contraband drops at federal prisons in Georgia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The operation was based out of a former daycare in Macon, Georgia, known among the defendants as “The Lab,” where drones and contraband were stored before flights, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
According to the indictment, drones allegedly delivered methamphetamine, marijuana, synthetic marijuana (K-2), Suboxone, cocaine, cell phones, tobacco, cigarettes, drug-soaked paper, and saw blades that prosecutors say were intended to be used as weapons or to aid escape attempts.
Investigators allege inmates inside federal prisons used contraband cell phones to coordinate the drops with drone pilots outside the facilities, sometimes providing maps and real-time guidance to help direct deliveries.

Every few months they catch someone in Pollock with a drone. Two Mexicans were busted last week.

According to court documents, on June 14, 2026, the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office received reports of a drone flying near the Federal Correctional Complex in Pollock. Detectives found recent footprints and observed a vehicle with Texas license plates attempting to avoid law enforcement. During the pursuit, the fleeing vehicle struck a marked Grant Parish patrol vehicle and later collided head-on with a Ford F-350. Mendoza-Alvarez and Lopez-Sanchez were taken into custody, and authorities said a search of their phones revealed images of a drone, THC wax and what appeared to be meth. Investigators later executed a search warrant at a nearby hotel where they located approximately 446 grams of meth, 114 grams of marijuana, THC vapes, 21 cell phones, a wallet allegedly containing Mendoza-Alvarez’s Mexican voter ID, assorted ammunition, spare drone propellers and a drone operator harness:

Again, the only thing the Muzzies do right is handle criminals.
These degenerates in the U.S. do not fear the justice system. It's a safe gamble for them.
This should change.

Suboxone
Because it's worth unbelievable $$ in prison. For someone who isn't dependent on opiates/opioids it will completely frick them up and have them high as frick. They sell it in tiny increments of one dose unit for hundreds of dollars, plus it's incredibly light weight, easy to hide, and probably not detectable by drug dogs like something like coke or heroin...(Not sure if dogs can smell it but don't think as easily as traditional drugs)
