GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - A Gillette man faces four felony drug charges after he allegedly smuggled heroin into the Campbell County jail.
Authorities say Joseph Colvin is accused of delivery, possession and intent to deliver and taking heroin into jail.
Colvin was in jail after officers executed a search warrant March 12 on his home, where they say found some of the heroin.
According to the Gillette News Record (https://tinyurl.com/kxerur6 ), Colvin was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 21 on a charge related to those searches.
Authorities say they later found out about the heroin in the jail from an unidentified informant.
According to court documents, 14 of the inmates in the cell were given urine tests and five of those tested positive for opiates, including Colvin.
