DECATUR, GA– Inside the DeKalb County Jail this past Sunday, an inmate was waiting for his Versace eyeglasses to arrive via a contraband drop delivery. However, neither the spectacles nor other items reached the broken cell window because the string used to hoist the bag broke unexpectedly mid-air.

The contraband bag contained cell phones, cell phone chargers, cigarette lighters, cans of shaving powder, a vapor pen, tubes of glue and the Versace eyeglasses.
