A former Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) employee has pleaded guilty to smuggling marijuana into the workhouse.

Prosecutor Charlie Minor said Ronald Durham, 31, brought it into the workhouse on at least two occasions.

He was given a suspended four-year prison sentence and 20 days of public work.

Since he has no prior criminal record, Durham was placed on diversion status. He can have the charges expunged if he gets in no further trouble for the next four years.

Judge Don Poole told him he must do all the public work days and pay the court costs.
