COOK COUNTY, Ill. — A Cook County Jail correctional officer was caught in an undercover sting accepting cocaine and marijuana to smuggle into the jail, authorities said Thursday.
Timothy Fuller, 42, of Oak Park, agreed to smuggle the drugs into the jail for $400, but his drug connection turned out to be an undercover officer, and the Monday afternoon transaction was caught on camera, authorities said.
Fuller, a 15-year correctional officer who worked in the jail’s medium-security Division 11 building, has been suspended with pay pending a termination hearing, the release said.
He’s charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine with intent to deliver. His bond was set at $40,000.
