Rikers Correction Officer Convicted Of Smuggling Pot, Other Items
A Rikers Island correction officer was convicted Friday of smuggling drugs and other items into the jail. As WCBS 880’s Irene Cornell reported, U.S. Attorney PreetBharara called the conviction of correction Officer Austin Romain another step toward rooting out the bad actors at Rikers Island, and reforming the troubled institution.
Romain was charged last year along with co-defendant Officer Khalif Phillips of smuggling marijuana, tobacco and scalpels into maximum security facilities and selling them to inmates.
