McALESTER — A drone carrying contraband was recovered Monday after crashing into razor wire at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, according to the state Corrections Department.

The incident was the first reported instance of a drone being used to bring illegal items into an Oklahoma prison, Corrections Department officials said.

At 9 a.m., prison staff noticed an unmanned aerial vehicle lying upside down on the prison grounds, according to a news release. Corrections officers determined the drone crashed after making contact with the razor wire lining the prison walls.

The package carried by the drone had been suspended by a fishing line. It contained a laundry list of banned items, including hacksaw blades, a cellphone, cigarettes and cigars, super glue, marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin.
