April 25 (UPI) -- A South Carolina prisoner was convicted this week of using the dark web to sell drugs and obtain a mail bomb to be sent to his ex-wife.

Michael Young Jr., 32, was already serving a 50-year sentence for attempting to kill his ex-wife and murdering her father back in 2007 when he got a hold of a contraband cell phone he used to access the dark web and carry out his crimes.

Prosecutors said he used the phone to purchase marijuana via a supplier in California that was sent to a residence in South Carolina, where Young's co-conspirator, Vance Volious Jr., would pick it up and re-distribute it. Several other people have also been implicated in the drug conspiracy, including 14 South Carolina Corrections Department officers who were indicted Wednesday.
