(Campbell County, Va.) — A former Campbell County correctional officer is charged with delivering drugs to prisoners.

25-year-old Benjamin Joel Rackley faces one count of conspiracy to deliver drugs to prisoners, one count of delivery of drugs to prisoners, and two counts distribution of a controlled substance.

The investigation began in February, when police received information that Rackley was delivering prescription medications to inmates at the facility. Authorities say the drugs were delivered between Aug. 1, 2016 and Feb. 1, 2017.
