A Falls Township couple has been charged for allegedly using greeting cards to get drugs in the Bucks County Correctional Facility in Doylestown.
Kristopher J. Colello, 34, and Dana A. Kutschera, 31, both of Levittown, were charged last month with multiple counts of controlled substance contraband to confined persons prohibited, criminal use of a communication facility and conspiracy.

According to court papers prepared by a county detective and a prison investigator, Kutschera would send greeting cards soaked with methadone to Colello while he was behind bars. At least three cards with drugs were mailed to the prison.
The first two cards were sent from Levittown in late September and discovered on October 1 at the prison, officials said.
Colello is alleged to have organized the crime with Kutschera, his girlfriend, via the phone. In one conversation, Colello tells Kutschera to “keep daddy’s love coming,” according to court papers.

Colello said in a phone conversation with Kutschera that he was nervous he got his mail but not the two greeting cards, authorities said. He also reportedly said in another call that he didn’t want to be bailed out for a few more days so he could “make more money,” court papers say.
The third drug-soaked card was sent to a different inmate on October 4 and intercepted by officials, court documents state. The set up for that card was heard in phone conversations between the two, officials said.

In one of the phone conversations, Colello borrowed a line from “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” character Dr. Evil. According to court papers, Colello noticed he was talking to much about the operation and said, “shhhh!, www.zip-it.com.” A nearly identical line can be seen the film.
Investigators sent the drug-laced letters to the county crime lab and they tested positive for methadone, authorities said.
Colello was in jail for another case at the time the letters were sent.
