COBOURG, Ont. – A former correctional officer accused of smuggling contraband into a medium security prison in Ontario has pleaded guilty to a breach of trust charge.
Darrell Fairman, 54, of Trenton entered the guilty plea during a court hearing in Cobourg, Ont., on Monday.
He did not enter a plea for a second charge of possession of contraband.
Fairman was working as a correctional officer at Warkworth Institution, near Campbellford, Ont., when police conducted a search following suspicions that a staff worker was smuggling items into the facility.
The OPP said that during the search they discovered unidentified contraband in Fairman’s possession.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 13.
