Drug Arrest Involves Newly Hired Officer

November 4th, 2013 by WCBC Radio

A newly hired Allegany County Detention Center employee was arrested and has been relieved of duty following an investigation that ended when he purchased drugs from an undercover officer.  Officers at the detention center were made aware that an officer had been engaging in illegal drug activity. Sheriff Craig Robertson then contacted the Allegany County C3I Narcotics Unit and requested assistance in determining if the reports were accurate.  Interviews were conducted and a meeting arranged between the officer and an undercover officer last Thursday morning at the Cresaptown Sheetz. William Eugene Smith, 26 of Frostburg, was arrested after purchasing Oxycodone.
