GBI says Dodge County jail ring involved jailers, inmates

What the GBI said

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said jailers and inmates at the Dodge County jail were accused of running a contraband-smuggling ring.

The allegation involves both jail employees and people held at the facility. The GBI’s statement, as reported by 13WMAZ, describes an alleged operation inside the Dodge County jail.

What the allegation means

An accusation is not a criminal conviction. Any criminal charges, court proceedings or final findings would be handled through the appropriate legal process.

The allegation concerns contraband being smuggled into or through the jail, but the GBI has not been described here as announcing a court judgment against those accused.

What to watch

The next developments would include any arrests, charges, court filings or additional announcements from the GBI or Dodge County officials.
