A small helicopter hovering above a prison is always cause for concern. 

According to authorities, four geniuses stand accused of using a mini-helicopter to sneak tobacco into Calhoun State Prison in Calhoun County, Ga. The criminal quartet—Aaron Clint FosterMarc Lee CircleDonavan Aaron Johnson and Angel Omega Thomas—was busted in the woods while operating the tiny chopper.

Police noticed it hovering above the gate of the prison after making two drops, which triggered a search. A suspicious-looking vehicle was found, and inside were roughly two pounds of tobacco. 

Because it's a felony to sneak contraband across prison guard lines, all four face up to 20 years behind bars.
