COUNTY EMPLOYEE CHARGED WITH TRAFFICKING WITH INMATE

(Richmond, IN)--An employee of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department is now accused of trafficking with an inmate.  According to court documents, 24-year-old Adrian Blanton became involved in a deal to bring one hundred suboxone strips into the jail and deliver them to inmate Shawn Farrow for $2000.  Jail phone calls from Farrow were confirmed to set up a drop of cash at Blanton’s home.  The incidents happened last summer, but charges were filed last week.  An initial hearing has not been set.
