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 (http://bit.ly/1E1hRew ) says two inmates pleaded guilty last week 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.
Jail officials began investigating in August on a tip from an inmate.
