West Virginia authorities bust crime ring delivering drugs by drone into federal prison

The number of people living unsheltered in Oregon has risen steeply in recent years. Eleven suspects, including a juvenile, have been arrested for allegedly using drones to deliver illegal drugs into a federal prison in West Virginia. The investigation began last November when officials at the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution in Welch contacted the office of McDowell County Sheriff James Muncy. The facility asked the sheriff's office for help with increased drone use in the area and in December, the sheriff's office started receiving multiple tips about drone deliveries. Sheriff's deputies arrested suspects from mid-December through early February.
