After allegedly bringing forbidden objects into the jail, a corrections officer from Hamilton County was taken into custody and prosecuted.
Richard Sampson, 46, has been charged with two charges of improper conveyance, according to officials. There are two charges: a first-degree misdemeanor and a third-degree felony.
Since July 2023, Sampson has been employed with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office as a correctional services deputy.
