MANSFIELD – The package dropped by a drone at Mansfield Correctional Institution last week contained 144.5 grams of tobacco, 65.4 grams of marijuana, and 6.6 grams of heroin, according to JoEllen Smith, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

Last week, the News Journal reported a drone flew over MANCI but few details were released as to whether any contraband was dropped or found.

The incident occurred at 2:33 p.m. July 27, according to information the News Journal received Monday from the spokeswoman.

A drone may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.
