PLAINFIELD, Ind. (WISH) - A correctional officer is facing charges after officials said he used Taco Bell wrappers to sneak drugs into the prison.
Travis Paul Wilbur, of Indianapolis, was arrested Wednesday by Correctional Police who oversee Plainfield Correctional Facility. Wilbur was arrested as police said he was trying to sneak narcotics into the facility. They found the drugs in Taco Bell wrappers sealed with black electrical tape and hidden in his lunch box.
Testing of the items in the wrappers indicated they were marijuana and Suboxone, a narcotic. Wilbur faces preliminary charges of possession of marijuana, a Class D felony; trafficking with an inmate, a Class C felony; and dealing in a schedule I, II, or III controlled substance, a Class B felony.
He had been employed at the facility for about a year.
