MONTGOMERY, Ala. In recent years, the Alabama Department of Corrections has contracted physical security at some prisons out to private contracted security guard companies, and it has been a help and it has been a problem.
During the past year, more than a dozen private security guards have been arrested for smuggling contraband items into the facility for prisoners.
An investigation is underway after another contract security guard working at an Alabama prison was arrested on suspicion of promoting prison contraband, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections.
The ADOC Law Enforcement Services Division arrested security guard Treasure Williams at the Bullock Correctional Facility. A search warrant was conducted at her home in Barbour County where investigators found the following items:
415 grams of marijuana
90 grams of methamphetamine
6 THC candy bars
assorted pills
1 handgun
Williams, a contract security guard with Allied Security, was charged with conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime in Bullock County. She was also charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and trafficking methamphetamine in Barbour County.
Williams’ employment has since been terminated by ADOC.
Also arrested at Williams’ home was Orlando Laster, who was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, and certain person forbidden to possess a firearm.
The LESD investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be pending.
