Angela Crosland, 51, of Elgin, has been convicted of bribery, money laundering, distribution of methamphetamine and suboxone, and filing false income tax returns.
A federal jury returned the guilty verdict following two days of trial.
Evidence presented to the jury showed that Crosland worked as a correctional officer at Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg in Salters. While employed as a correctional officer, Crosland smuggled contraband into FCI Williamsburg in exchange for money.
The contraband included suboxone, methamphetamine, K-2-soaked paper, marijuana, tobacco, food, and other items.
Evidence presented to the jury included Crosland’s Cash App accounts records which reflected payments to her account totalling $56,791 from family and associates of inmates housed at FCI Williamsburg.
These payments occurred over approximately a nine-month time period. In addition, Crosland failed to report this substantial income on her federal tax returns.
United States District Judge Joseph Dawson, III, presided over the trial and will sentence Crosland after receiving and reviewing a pre-sentence report from the U.S. Probation office.
