A corrections officer working at the Norfolk County Correctional Center is accused in a conspiracy to bring drugs into the facility, Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott said at a press conference Thursday.
McDermott said the officer is suspected of working with two inmates and two outside suspects to bring suboxone strips into the facility. Suboxone is considered an opioid and is commonly used as a prescription to help those with opioid addictions to help with withdrawal symptoms during recovery. However, the medication can be abused.
The corrections officer then hid the strips between trash bags and brought them to the housing unit, where he later handed them over to an inmate. Five suspects, including the officer, two inmates, and two other people, have been summonsed to Dedham District Court on charges of conspiracy, delivering drugs to a correctional facility, and possession of class B substance with intent to distribute.
