Talladega County Corrections officers arrested


Travis Curry

Two corrections officers at the Talladega County Jail have been arrested for allegedly providing drugs to inmates.
Talladega County Sheriff Jimmy Kilgore said the arrests were the culmination of an internal investigation that he ordered some time back. Talladega County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force Commander Jason Murray headed up the investigation.
Murray said the first arrest had been Brian Mitchell, who was first arrested Nov. 13 on charges of promoting prison contraband in the second degree, possession of marijuana in the first degree and possession of a controlled substance. Murray said Mitchell was able to post bond either the day he was arrested or shortly afterward. The charges involved marijuana and methamphetamines.
36 year old Travis Curry,  another corrections officer, was arrested Monday afternoon on two counts of promoting prison contraband in the second degree. Murray said both counts were for marijuana.
Curry’s total bond was set at $10,000.
