Lindsey Melissa Adams, a 43-year-old correctional officer at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault, faces felony charges for allegedly smuggling drugs into the prison. On September 3, she was caught in a planned drug exchange with an inmate, during which live surveillance documented the exchange. Adams initially denied wrongdoing but later confessed to having 101 antidepressant pills and a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. The investigation revealed that she had been approached by a man at a convenience store who offered her money to smuggle drugs. Adams has since been dismissed from her position, and her bail has been set at $100,000. This incident highlights ongoing issues regarding drug smuggling in correctional facilities, following previous concerns raised by inmate families about lockdowns related to overdoses.
