The package sparked a fight after it was dropped July 29 at the Mansfield Correctional Institution.
Prison officials said it contained nearly a quarter of an ounce (7 grams) of heroin, over 2 ounces (57 grams) of marijuana and more than 5 ounces (140 grams) of tobacco.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that records show a corrections officer at North Central Correctional Institution near Marion found a wrecked drone May 31 containing more than 6 ounces of marijuana.
Another drone, which may not have carried contraband, was found by an inmate in January at the Franklin Medical Center in Columbus.
