Man arrested for possession caught with drugs in his jail cell
NORWICH – A Connecticut man was arrested last week for criminal possession of cocaine and after being remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility, officers discovered he was passing drugs from inside his jail cell.
Undersheriff Ernest R. Cutting reported that corrections officers discovered that 29-year-old Thaddeus L. Singleton III of Connecticut had managed to smuggle a quantity of cocaine into the jail only a few days after he had been charged with criminal possession.
Singleton was arrested May 10 in the Town of Norwich and charged with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Officers discovered a small plastic bag containing powdered cocaine on Singleton while he was in his jail cell a few days later.
“We’re not sure how the drug was passed into the facility. The suspect was searched, a few times, prior to the discovery,” said Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Richard Cobb.
Cobb explained that sometimes individuals are able to conceal small quantities of drugs from officers following their arrest. He also said Singleton had visitors, indicating that the substance may have been passed to him from another individual.
Inmates are allowed visitations on weekends and are searched after each visit.
“We take these sorts of incidents very seriously and we’re looking very closely at all the possibilities. We haven’t ruled anything out, but this may just be an isolated case,” said Cobb.
Singleton was charged with first degree promotion of prison contraband, a felony, and seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.
Police said additional arrests may be pending.
