A Marshall County corrections officer has been arrested for second degree promoting prison contraband, Sheriff Phil Sims said.

Andrew Bailey, 18, was charged following an internal investigation.

Arrangements are being made to hold Bailey in another facility until a bond is set, Sims said.

Bailey has resigned from his position with the sheriff’s office.

According to Sims, the investigation revealed THC vapes and tobacco were being smuggled into the jail during work hours.

“Whether you’re a deputy or a corrections officer, we are all in a position to uphold the law, work with integrity, and (are) held to a higher standard. I will hold any officer or employee who abuses the public’s trust accountable for their actions,” Sims said, in a statement.
