Three people have been arrested and charged with attempting to enter contraband into the Cherokee County Jail.
Sheriff Jeff Shaver informed WEIS Radio News that an investigation was launched following the discovery by corrections officers of contraband inside the perimeter fence at the jail. Officers located cell phones and drugs during a watch tour.
Investigators also opened a case and identified an inmate inside the facility – and two other individuals involved in attempting to get the dangerous contraband inside the jail. Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged 34 year-old Rdale J. McKee, from Albertville with promoting prison contraband. He was on bond, and awaiting a trial for murder, in Marshall County. As a result of this new arrest, his bond was revoked, and he is now back in custody in the Marshall County Jail.
Krystal Morgan, 24, and George Holcomb, 27, both of Albertville, and Dayton Huggins, 30 of Piedmont, also face charges for promoting prison contraband.
