Jail Delivery Plot Uncovered in Deer Island Case
Boston police said a bold jail delivery plot from Deer Island House of Correction was uncovered when Joseph Downing, a former Boston patrolman, was arrested as he tried to mail a letter with delivery plans. The letter to a Buffalo man sought $800 for the scheme and $1,090 for intercepting the mail, aiming to purchase weapons. Charges of mailing and writing a gun delivery plan were expected to be filed.
