a drone carrying heroin, marijuana, and tobacco dropped its payload over a prison yard crowded with inmates, causing a brief melee before authorities stamped out the brawl with pepper spray, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC).
Local media reported Tuesday that the July 29 melee at the Mansfield Correctional Institution began moments after a drone let loose with the goods. At least nine inmates began fighting over the package while other inmates rushed toward the brawl.
Hmm, time for cryo prisons? Or should the drug delivery man switch to drones that can travel through the plumbing?

I think El Chapo just gave orders, and his lieutenants took care of all the details. Seriously, one guy didn't buy the land to begin construction of a house, dig that tunnel, and build the little loco-bike in the tunnel, all while showing up for roll call in a jail cell. El Chapo didn't need any tools - he speaks, and the tools just do all the work.

Sure, of course, but how did his minions sneak stuff into jail. Perhaps he (or his network) used drones.

Unlikely, there would be no reason to go through the prison when they could start at the unwatched residence.

Agreed, it was just a suggestion.

It is unlikely but everything else surrounding El Chapo that did happen was also very unlikely. The whole story looks like it came out of a Hollywood movie so nothing would surprise me.
