Texas man arrested for allegedly flying drugs, phones into prison yard on drone
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A Texas man was arrested after allegedly flying a drone loaded with drugs, prepaid phones and mp3 players into a Fort Worth prison yard. Bryant LeRay Henderson, 42, was arrested at his home in Smithville, Texas and charged with one count of attempting to provide contraband in prison, one count of serving as an airman without an airman's certificate, and one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. "Contraband drone deliveries are quickly becoming the bane of prison officials' existence. Illicit goods pose a threat to guards and inmates alike – and when it comes to cell phones, the threat often extends outside prison walls. We are determined to stop this trend in its tracks," said U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham in a press release on Friday.
The Maximus Smart Motion Security Light looks like it could light up a prison yard
But if you really want to light up your front porch (or prison yard), the Maximus Smart Motion Security Light should do the trick. Controllable via Amazon's Alexa digital assistant or via the Kuna app available for Android and iOS devices, Maximus' Smart Motion Security Light builds on the success of the company's Smart Security Light line. The somewhat insectile outdoor fixture is equipped with an integrated 1080p video camera that can broadcast live footage directly to your smartphone. And its powerful 2400-lumen floodlight is unlikely to leave any shadows for miscreants to hide in (that's more than twice as bright as the Netatmo Presence security camera/floodlight we reviewed in November 2016). Through the use of the Kuna app, which you can read about in one of our earlier reviews, you'll not only be able to view the Smart Motion Security Light's video feed, but also hear and speak with individuals standing close to the fixture.
