Prosecutors in Milwaukee County are charging a former corrections officer with two felonies for allegedly bringing an inmate illegal items.
Eric Colon is charged with delivering those items to an inmate as well as misconduct in public office. He faces up to 7 years in prison and $20,000 in fines.
The criminal complaint states Colon started a friendship with inmate Bernard Burgess, and at one point bought a Cadillac from Burgess' family. According to prosecutors, he got a discount on the car and in return he delivered several items to Burgess while he was behind bars.
Those items "Included deodorant, a hairbrush, matchsticks, two packs of Newport cigarettes, two marijuana cigarettes hidden inside a deodorant container, crushed tobacco, a container of hair grease, a fabric hair net, a Mini Bic cigarette lighter, two ink pens, 14 pornographic photographs and 20 Duracell batteries."
