On September 24th, 2024 our office was contacted by Chief Deputy Stephen Carter of the McCracken County Jail.
He reported to us that narcotics had been located inside the jail and an investigation was conducted.
Their investigation garnished information that a former jail employee, identified as Gage Walker (28) of Mayfield, Kentucky had brought the narcotics into the jail and supplied them to an inmate.
The McCracken County Sheriff’s Office immediately launched an investigation and located Walker. Walker admitted to bringing narcotics into the jail on numerous occasions in exchange for money from outside sources.
Walker was lodged at the Marshall County Jail and charged with Promoting Contraband – 1st Degree.
This investigation is still ongoing and additional arrests are likely.
