Five charged in alleged plot to smuggle drugs into Gunnison prison

Prosecutors in Sanpete County are charging five people with trying to smuggle drugs into a state prison facility in Gunnison.

Talon Hamann, Kelcy Roberts, Patrick Sullivan, Colton Olsen and Brian Olsen were all charged with attempted drug distribution Tuesday.

Investigators say the five created a plan to place drugs in a fast food bag and leave it in a location where work-release inmates could pick it up and take it back to the prison.

Prison officials found out about the plan and discovered the bag of drugs before the inmates could pick it up.
