Texas inmate Yeshmel Wright faces the possibility of a life sentence in federal prison after being charged and arrested as part of a 42-person conspiracy to drone drop drugs and contraband into prison.
Wright is specifically “charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute synthetic marijuana,” according to a press release from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Wright was named in the 11-count indictment of the 42 conspirators on Feb. 9; he appeared in federal court in front of Judge Christine Nowak this week.
