In Michigan City, Indiana, a state prison guard was arrested May 30 after she got caught trying to smuggle a whopper of a weed sandwich into the Indiana State Prison. Guard Janice Clark, 38, went down when a fellow guard grew suspicious of her plastic-wrapped sandwich as she arrived at work. An x-ray scan revealed nearly a half-pound of weed hidden between the slices of bread. Upon questioning, Clark admitted to smuggling marijuana and tobacco into the prison on numerous occasions and receiving $20,000 for her efforts. She is charged with trafficking with an inmate and bribery.
In San Diego, a Border Patrol agent was among 47 people arrested last Friday for involvement in a fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking ring linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. As a result of a "long-term investigation," officers four kilograms (8.8 pounds) of fentanyl; more than 324 kilograms (over 714 pounds) of methamphetamine; "significant quantities" of cocaine and heroin; and 52 firearms, including handguns and rifles, in multiple raids. Among those arrested was Alexander Grindley, who is accused of methamphetamine trafficking while employed as a Border Patrol agent.
In Elizabethton, Tennessee, a Carter County Sheriff's Office jail guard was arrested last Saturday after he got caught trying to bring illegal drugs and tobacco products into the Carter County Detention Center. Now-former guard Leonard Stratton II, 32, went down after an internal investigation and is now charged with the introduction of contraband into a penal facility and official misconduct. He currently resides at his former place of employment until he comes up with a $10,000 bond.
