INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two inmates housed at different Indiana prisons ran a drug ring that distributed methamphetamine and heroin thanks to cellphones smuggled in by guards, according to a federal indictment that charges 40 people in connection with the scheme.
An indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that the purported ringleader, Oscar Perez, and an inmate at another prison, Justin Addler, even conference called with a third man using smuggled cellphones to discuss “pooling their financial resources” to get a discount on heroin.
