FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Postcards arriving at the Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale contained more than just drawings.
Federal prosecutors say the postcards were laced with a hallucinogenic drug that has similar effects as LSD. They say inmates paid $10 for a tiny piece of a card, which they put in their mouths to absorb the drug.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel says two inmates pleaded guilty to federal drug charges. Authorities say a third man who was on the outside, 56-year-old William Hahne, has pleaded not guilty to possessing and distributing the drug.
Prosecutors say Hahne mailed the cards to the other two inmates.Hahne’s attorney says he’s undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at Miami’s Federal Detention Center.
