A Chester County Prison correctional officer was arrested and charged with smuggling drugs to inmates.
A correctional officer working for the Chester County Prison was arrested for allegedly selling drugs to inmates, according to the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
The inmate also explained that Williams allegedly hid the drugs in small trash bags rolls, officials reported. He said his former cell mate was getting drugs from the correctional officer who was then paid by another person through an online cash app. A couple of days later, a third inmate told a prison lieutenant that Williams was distributing various drugs in gloves or in small dark trash bags with the help of an inmate, the District Attorney's office said.
"The defendant was hired as a correctional officer to uphold the law and keep order in the prison, but he completely violated his position of authority. No one is above the law," Chester County District Attorney Deborah Ryan said in a statement.
