A Costa Mesa, California, man has been accused of flying a drone filled with drugs into the Theo Lacy Jail Facility while coordinating with a female inmate through a phone inside the jail.

The drone was originally found in the grass area inside the facility by an inmate worker two days after it crashed on Sept. 12, and the inmate alerted sheriff’s deputies to it. It was carrying 2 grams of heroin, 4 grams of methamphetamine, 15 Xanax pills, and 15 muscle relaxers.
