NASSAU- A corrections officer is accused of trying to smuggle a cell phone into prison.
Authorities allegedly found the phone in a plate of food when Romell Rolle reported for duty yesterday.
Rolle, 25, faces a charge of introducing a prohibited item into prison, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of three months in prison.
He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
Rolle has been freed on $4,000 bail and returns to court for trial in September.
Rolle has been relieved of his duties pending the outcome of his case.
Bjorn Ferguson is his lawyer.
