Federal agents investigate drug dealing in Michigan prison

MUNISING, MI (AP)--   Federal agents are investigating a drug operation at a prison in Munising.

A search at the Alger Correctional facility turned up methamphetamine, LSD, a medication for opioid addiction and a digital scale. The Detroit News says the details are in federal court records.

No one has been arrested, and there’s no mention in the documents about how drugs got into the prison. Corrections Department spokesman Chris Gautz says nothing's been found to suspect staff “at this time.”

On May 20, prison officers found drugs in a cell as well as a cellphone hidden under an electronic keyboard.
