Officer Nabbed For Smuggling H
YONKERS---A detention officer employed by the Yonkers Police Department is accused of helping a new detainee at the jail smuggle heroin out of the jail.
Patricia Streams-Correa, 39, of Yonkers, who was employed at the Alexander Street Jail, has been charged with third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, one count of third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and one count of first degree promoting prison contraband.
Westchester district attorney Janet DiFiore said that on Sunday, Jan. 21, Streams-Correa, assisted a new detainee who had been arrested for possessing approximately eight bags of heroin, in smuggling another 36 bags of heroin out of the jail. Police investigation revealed that the detainee had secreted the additional drugs on her body at the time of her arrest.
Prosecutors said the plan involved a friend of the detainee coming to the jail to bring her a change of clothing. With the alleged assistance of Streams-Correa, the bags of heroin were secreted in the dirty clothing and taken out of the jail.
DiFiore said the Yonkers Police Department's Narcotics Unit and Internal Affairs Division developed information, investigated the incident and Streams-Correa was subsequently arrested. The bags of heroin have been recovered.
"Public employees, especially those who work in law enforcement, must be held to the highest standards", DiFiore said. "Suspected transgressions should be reported. The District Attorney's office has a Public Integrity Bureau that actively and aggressively investigates complaints received and where appropriate, prosecutes them."
