Indictments: Donovan prison guard accepted bribes from inmate who also ran COVID benefits fraud [Breaking]
A corrections officer at an Otay Mesa state prison smuggled contraband to an inmate, including a bejeweled “grill” for the prisoner’s teeth, in exchange for thousands of dollars worth of bribes, according to a newly unsealed indictment.
Defense attorney Doug Brown said he couldn’t offer further comment because he had not yet seen the FBI’s case. Also named in the indictment was the inmate, 26-year-old Shawn Brown, and two of his brothers, both Fresno residents. According to prosecutors and court documents, the bribery scheme centered around a custom gold and diamond grill made by a Houston jeweler.
