Details are vague, but the Virginia Department of Corrections is touting that its drug task force used “intelligence gathering” to stop drugs entering a facility.
According to the VADOC, investigators had intelligence that a suspect would be bringing drugs into a facility on Sunday, July 9.
When the suspect arrived at the facility, they were questioned by VADOC’s Special Investigations Unit.
According to the VADOC, the suspect admitted to having drugs hidden “inside their body.” The suspected drugs were retrieved by the SIU with the suspect’s cooperation.
The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the local magistrate’s office.
“Our drug task force and security staff members at the Virginia Department of Corrections work around the clock to address the threat of drugs and contraband entering our facilities,” said Harold W. Clarke, director of the Virginia Department of Corrections. “I thank them for their hard work on this case and others as we work together to create long-lasting public safety, ensuring Virginia remains a safe place to live and work.”
The VADOC is actively investigating this incident, and no additional information will be provided at this time.
