A Birmingham man has been arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into prison contraband.

The Alabama Department of Corrections and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency SWAT team carried out a search Monday at an Ensley home, authorities announced Thursday.

Christopher Needham, 41, was taken into custody at the home.

ADOC spokeswoman Kelly Windham Butts said drugs and guns were confiscated during the raid. She said the search warrant was in connection with prison contraband but did not elaborate.

Needham was charged with unlawful distribution of marijuana, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, trafficking methamphetamine and possession of an altered firearm.

Needham was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 8:22 a.m. Monday and released shortly before 7 p.m. after posting bond totaling $100,000.
