Nigerian-American Deputy in Virginia Arrested for Attempting to Smuggle Drugs into Prison
A Nigerian-American deputy with the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office was fired after being accused of trying to bring narcotics into the Alexandria Adult Detention Center. He was taken into custody on April 4, 2026, before any drugs reached inmates. Investigators say the deputy joined the agency in July 2025. He allegedly conspired to deliver a Schedule III controlled substance to a prisoner. An internal investigations unit uncovered the scheme and intervened in time. He now faces charges of delivery and conspiracy to deliver drugs to prisoners, as well as drug possession. Sheriff Sean Casey stated he has zero tolerance for any action that undermines facility security and warned that those who breach public trust will face full consequences. The case remains under active investigation by local law enforcement.
