ROCKWELL CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa authorities are trying to find out how illegal drugs got into the state prison in Rockwell City. Prison spokesman Fred Scaletta told Des Moines television station KCCI in an email, that “a large amount of what is believed to be illegal drugs were discovered” during a routine inspection last week.

Prison officials won’t comment on the quantity or type of drugs found until the investigation is finished.
Officials from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration are expected to be at the minimum-security prison on Wednesday to investigate and classify the drugs.
