Drone Drug Delivery: A California Man Faces Decades in Prison for Attempting to Smuggle Meth into a State Prison
A 28-year-old man from Delano, California, was sentenced to 12 years and 7 months in prison for using a drone to smuggle methamphetamine into a state prison. Jorge Narvaez flew an Autel drone over North Kern State Prison in June 2024, dropping two balloons containing 21 grams of meth into the yard. He attempted a second delivery with three more balloons, but the drone crashed, and investigators recovered the payload. Forensic evidence linked Narvaez to the crime, leading to his arrest. This incident underscores the growing challenge of drone deliveries in prisons, but authorities are stepping up security measures to combat this issue.
