BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Four people have been arrested for allegedly providing drugs to inmates at the Boulder County Jail through the mail, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said.

A six-month-long investigation uncovered 109.82 grams of methamphetamine-soaked paper and 137.92 grams of ketamine-soaked photos entered the jail via mail to inmates and had been distributed around the facility.

The Boulder County Drug Task Force, Boulder County Jail staff and a Boulder County Sheriff’s K9 team began investigating after an anonymous tip was received that liquid meth was getting into the jail via mail. When the inmates involved were identified, several letters tested positive for meth.
