Staff at the institution reported a drone dropped a suspicious package onto the grounds of the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OPP found a suspicious vehicle nearby on Reay Road. Osei was the passenger and the police noticed his pants were soaked up to the knees, consistent with travelling through the marshy areas around the prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the vehicle, they found a drone in a backpack and a package identical to the one that had been dropped at Beaver Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the package, police found a knife, four lighters, rolling papers, eight packages of marijuana and tobacco. They also found MDMA in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osei was sentenced to 60 days in custody, but the court heard he is already in custody, facing five years in prison on unrelated charges. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man\u2019s effort to fly drugs into Beaver Creek Institution via drone has landed him in jail.
