On June 2, 2022, Corrections Officer David Lowe was arrested and charged with promoting prison contraband 1st, promoting prison contraband 2nd, promoting contraband 3rd, unlawful possession of a controlled substance (meth), and unlawful distribution of a controlled substance (meth). A small amount of meth and marijuana, was seized, along with a cell phone, and alcohol. Lowe remains in jail on a $250,000 dollar bond. The investigation involved the Sheriff’s Office, Marshall County Drug Task Force, and the Alabama Drug Enforcement Task Force.
“I was notified of a potential problem we had with contraband and drugs getting in the jail. I immediately ordered an investigation to determine how and what items were getting in the jail. Everyone involved did a great job. The investigation resulted in the arrest of one of our own. I hold my employees to a high standard and when that standard is not met or abused, I will hold them accountable. As a correction officer or deputy, we are public servants and should be held to a higher standard of accountability”.
