A Massachusetts prison guard may be joining the inmates soon.
Stephen Lebreux, a corrections officer at the Bridgewater Correctional Complex in Bridgewater, Mass., was arrested and charged with selling heroin Tuesday after undercover police allegedly busted him in a drug deal, The Boston Herald reports.
An undercover officer allegedly bought drugs from Lebreux multiple times, though never at the prison.
“We had multiple undercover buys from him,” state police spokesman David Procopio told The Boston Herald. “As of now we have no information that he was bringing drugs into the prison.”
Lebreux, who denies the allegations, is being held on $20,000 bond. Authorities are still investigating. He is charged with two counts of heroin trafficking and three counts of distributing and has been suspended from his job.
A similar incident happened recently in North Carolina. Authorities arrested correctional officer Scarlette King Hodges for allegedly selling heroin at the Lanesboro Correctional Institution in Polkton.
