A Texas man admitted to flying a drone loaded with drugs, phones and mp3 players into a Fort Worth prison.
42-year-old Bryant LeRay Henderson pleaded guilty to attempting to provide contraband to a prisoner on Wednesday.
"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.Henderson was arrested at his home in Smithville this August after he flew the drone into a fenced-in section of FMC Fort Worth just before midnight on Wednesday, May 4.
Surveillance video from O.D. Wyatt High school on the night of the incident showed a man in a red Tahoe remove a drone and package from the truck, fly the drone towards the prison and drive off.Henderson's debit card was found inside, along with a drone controller, according to court documents. From the drone itself, investigators found flight logs, which included four flights over FMC Fort Worth's airspace and two over a federal prison in Seagoville.
"The criminal element will always take advantage of new opportunities for illegal activity as technology progresses," said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew J. DeSarno.
