A woman from Selma has been sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge William H. Steele for her role in a drug smuggling conspiracy at Fountain Correctional Facility in Atmore.
Haley Fuentes was sentenced to 35 months imprisonment, said an announcement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Alabama.Â
According to the announcement an employee of the Alabama Department of Corrections, Robert O’Brien Rivers, was arrested after officers conducted a search of employees and their vehicles on March 27, 2022.Â
During the search Rivers was found to have two bowls with frozen rice that were hiding objects containing 244 grams of methamphetamine and 510 grams of marijuana.
"Court documents showed that Rivers knowingly received the drugs from people outside the prison to smuggle into an inmate in the prison and that he had done so on multiple occasions in the past," the announcement said. "Fuentes and a third co-defendant, Jarvis Callens, had provided drugs to Rivers in the past to smuggle into the prison."
In December Fuentes and Callens were stopped by a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Deputy with 165 grams of methamphetamine that were apparently bound for Rivers to smuggle into the prison.Â
Rivers was sentenced by the Court to 54 months imprisonment and Callens was sentenced to 168 months for their roles.
