A Carbon County drug court supervisor is accused of having sex with an offender and tampering with drug tests. Melanie Madill is charged in state court with custodial sexual relations and five counts of evidence tampering. All the counts are felonies punishable by up to five years in prison.
Madill was a jail corrections officer supervising offenders participating in the county's drug court. Carbon County Attorney Gene Strate said Madill developed a romantic relationship with one offender, then began helping him pass drug tests.
"She was tampering with the test to make the test come out favorable to the subjects," Strate said. "It appears on some tests she was substituting clean urine for urine from the subject." Madill then began helping a friend of that offender pass his drug tests, Strate said. In all, Madill may have helped four offenders pass drug screenings, he said.
Utah law forbids sex between law enforcement officers and inmates or people under state supervision. Madill is free on $15,000 bail. Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova on Friday said there also is an administrative investigation into Madill.

Melanie was my tracker. She is a big influence in my life, we all make mistakes. She is a wonderful friend and women. If it wasnt for her i would not have had as many chances as i did, I am clean and happy today in part because of the advise she has given me. People need to look at all who was involved with this before they run their mouths on her, she may not e innocent, but she is also not soley responsible. My thoughts and prayers are with all of who them.
