ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors say a man living under a stolen identity and a female inmate have been charged with using a drone to smuggle drugs into a Southern California jail. The drone is suspected of carrying heroin, methamphetamine, Xanax and muscle relaxers into the Theo Lacy Facility in the city of Orange last Sunday. The inmate is accused of using a jailhouse phone to direct the man where to fly the drone. The man was arrested at a Costa Mesa apartment on Tuesday. They each face multiple charges including smuggling controlled substances into a correctional facility and conspiracy.
