Tonight, 28 year-old Prison Officer Ajany Smith Sr. is out on bail after he was allegedly busted with weed inside the prison facility.
According to police, just after 11 on Saturday morning, Smith was at work and he started to complain that his right foot pained him. He was on his way to the medical center when he was stopped and searched by one of his co-workers who found 2 plastic bags containing marijuana in his pants pocket.
The drugs were weighed in his presence which amounted to 54.6 grams – or 1.93 ounces of marijuana, and as a result, he was charged with drug trafficking.
He was arraigned today before Magistrate Dale Cayetano who granted him bail of 3,000 which he was able to meet.
He is expected back in court on October 23.
