Theresa M. DiJoseph, a 50-year-old attorney from Woburn, Massachusetts, has been charged with conspiracy to commit drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, providing a prohibited object to an inmate, and making a false statement. DiJoseph allegedly attempted to smuggle synthetic cannabis into the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Rhode Island for detainees Shawn D. Hart and Samuel Douglas. Hart, awaiting trial on drug and firearm offenses, and Douglas, awaiting sentencing for racketeering conspiracy, were also charged alongside Hanasa Stedford, 21, of Hamden, Connecticut. The scheme involved DiJoseph's suspicious behavior during visits with Hart, monitored by correctional officers, and text message exchanges indicating her participation in sports-betting transactions on Hart's behalf. On December 1, 2023, correctional officers intercepted papers soaked in synthetic marijuana from DiJoseph, which were confirmed by FBI testing. DiJoseph and Stedford were arrested and are set to appear in court, while Hart and Douglas will appear at a later date.
