Correction Officer Accused of Smuggling Contraband Into Manhattan Detention Complex
A New York City correction officer, an inmate and two relatives have been accused of smuggling contraband into the Manhattan Detention Complex, law enforcement officials said on Thursday.
The correction officer, Patricia Howard, 44, was arrested last month after prosecutors said she was found carrying nine grams of cocaine, three ounces of marijuana, four cellphones, tobacco, rolling papers, pliers and a flashlight in a red shopping bag. She intended to smuggle the items to an inmate at the detention complex in Lower Manhattan, where she worked, officials said.
