MARCY, N.Y. — Staff at an Oneida County prison seized a drone that was trying to deliver contraband to the prison.
According to the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), staff at Marcy Correctional Facility detected a drone nearby at around 1 a.m. Saturday.
Staff found the drone outside the prison. It dropped a package between dorm buildings inside the prison’s secure fence.
DOCCS says the drone was carrying two knives, a cell phone, a green leafy substance, paper soaked in intoxicating chemicals, and more.
